Michael Chiklis
Michael Chiklis, the only one of four title actors of “The Fantastic Four” already familiar with the comic book, wore 60 pounds of latex which took three hours to get into.
To keep Chiklis cool in the suit, a rock was removed from his head and cold air was sprayed into the gap between the suit and the actor. For most of the shoot, Chiklis was terribly uncomfortable in the hot 'Thing' suit.
The final street battle, however, was filmed in Vancouver in December, leaving Chiklis as the only comfortable one of the four; the rest were in the skintight blue uniforms.
