- My father's dying wish to send me here,

sort of kick-start a short film about making it in L.A.

- Hi, I'm Tamar. - I'm Alex.

- I'm Bruce.

- And this is "Last Looks."

(upbeat music)

- Can I ask, you have a gem. How does the gem work?

- I can make stuff disappear. - Okay.

(troll grunts loudly)

(upbeat mellow music)

- Zac Oyama's episode, "The Troll,"

he did not look like himself.

I've shown a photo of him to a couple people in his look

and no one knows that it's Zac.

What on his body was prosthetics?

- [Alex] We had a cowl piece face prosthetic,

arms and a belly.

- Zac was one of the more covered people.

I mean, he had everything on.

- He was unrecognizable. - Yes.

- How are you doing? - [Zac] Great.

I'm feeling good. Feeling normal.

- [Vic] You look normal. - Yeah.

I feel that way.

- When we first were ideating the troll,

there was a little bit of a concern

that we would lean too much into the trademarked troll.

And so we wanted Zac to have his own version of the troll.

- [Alex] So we kept the original silhouette,

but then switched up the hair

and worked with Alicia with costuming.

We still wanted to do the iconic gem on the stomach,

which is when we added the prosthetic belly

to give him that more rounded doll-like stomach.

- I remember us going back and forth about how many months

pregnant the belly should be. - Right.

- Oh! (crew laughs)

Oh!

I'm a troll, right?

I have a jewel in my tummy!

Ha-ha.

This is- (laughs)

The little tummy is awful.

- [Tamar] And then, talk a little bit about how you go

about making a custom wig like that.

- [Alex] We wanted the density that a troll doll

would have in a toy.

And, of course, most wigs are quite thinner

because you want it to look more natural on your head.

We did not want a natural wig look.

So those were actually two of the same wigs sewn together,

and then it was shaped outside of that to add that volume

so it would stick out and it would protrude in a way

that felt more static than human hair would.

- [Tamar] Let's talk a little bit about these teeth.

- [Alex] Me and Jason had a lot of conversations

and we decided to do the oversized teeth.

And I don't know if they picked up on camera,

but he does have teeth gems.

So they're overly white,

they're double the size of natural teeth.

- These are my teeth.

I had braces for six months,

and then Invisalign for 20 years.

- [Tamar] He could speak very clearly,

and it seems like it was comfortable for him.

- [Bruce] It's very tricky.

They have to be paper, paper thin

and carved out on the back,

because your tongue will sense any kind of foreign material

in the back of your teeth and give you a lisp.

So they have to be just front veneers.

- My eyes feel so dead.

Like, there's just nothing there.

Hello.

Hi.

Oh, I'm your friend!

I'll always be your friend.

- [Alex] You know, you have this very plastic-like look

all over his body,

and then the eyes are gonna be very human,

and you lose the look.

We had these oversized, blue-eye, doll, sclera contacts,

and feel like it really pulled the whole look together.

- Yeah, there was something about them.

And it was hard to look at him

and not think that he was just,

like, CG right in front of me.

- [Alex] It creates a surreal effect.

- [Bruce] Can't overestimate the importance of

lenses and teeth.

Really ties the whole thing together

and brings it to another level.

- Just seems like you're pranking me.

- Only a little.

- [Tamar] With a look like this,

where it's, like, prosthetics, custom teeth, contacts,

how do you go about doing the fittings

without them knowing what they are?

- [Alex] When costumes was there getting some measurements,

we'll start measuring the most,

like, random parts of his body.

I started measuring all of his fingertips.

I think he was just really confused.

- [Vic] Right behind you. - [Dash] Yeah?

The door is open though. - This is, okay.

And so, and okay.

Nope, nope, and just come right back on in and take-

(troll screams)

- Sorry.

(upbeat music)

- Zac Oyama is always such a delight

to have on the show.

He is so specific in his comedy.

I think it's, like, a real superpower of his.

Like, you can cut straight

to, like, my comedy heart immediately.

- Yes, chapter 16, interior house.

(both laughing)

- He comes from this, like, amazing world,

but all he wants to talk about is the short film

that he's fundraising for.

- Only wanting to talk about living with his roommates

in Burbank was a truly inspired choice.

That's one that just lives and dies on the specifics of it.

And I just think, like, you know, he comes to play

when it's, like, coming up with, like, ultra-specific jokes,

and just nailed it.

- Can you nod?

You've seen mumblecore?

The Duplass Brothers are kind of an inspiration for me,

so this is gonna be Duplass-ey.

Can we play in some HMU?

I'm feeling a little greasy.

We're making art. Thank you, thank you.

Yeah, my T-zone's rough.

How's your day going?

(uptempo music fades)
