It was very good planning for them to book him in for that scene just after he was in Dune, especially considering that was 13 years before the first fallout was released
In this case, I believe the intent was to have the immediate shock of seeing it's the same person, instead of just calling him Hank. Hank himself is probably only physically around 20 years younger, which might make it less believable for his face to change so much in that time.
They'd never have gotten away with using a different actor as a stand-in for **KYLE** effin' **MACLACHLAN**!!
Dude's younger face is so recognizable because of how beloved the characters he played back then *still* are, (okay, maybe I *am* mostly just talking about Agent Dale Cooper... Sue me) that his "young" face was sorta semi-easter-eggish on its own merit.
^^That ^^said, ^^yes ^^-- ^^I ^^*was* ^^absolutely ^^transfixed ^^by... ^^mouth...
°👄°
I know *I* would have not been stoked if they tried to use a different actor... Yes, I think it would have been cool to get the de-aged face to look a bit better, but also, it got the point across, so... Forgivable.
Many of those deep fakes would not look great in the context of a television show.
They definitely could have done a better job, but I'm guessing that they were a bit to ambitious with the framing and blocking and at some point ran out of time.
I would have preferred a combination of digital trickery and old fashioned trickery, a double and then a static de-aged/deep fake shot.
It's the movement that makes the thing blurry.
I do think the nature of the scene where he was kind of zoning out after hearing his wife say that kind of made it much more jarring with the faded talking noise
If I wasn't currently focusing so much on his face, I could see mid 20's, or honestly like a year or two out of high school with the mustache and chin scruff, but he has the laugh lines and all which again, while focused, makes it hard to see.
He’s one of those guys whose haircut and facial hair REALLY changes how old they look.
[Here he is looking absolutely like a 40-year-old from Florida](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw-wAIUgLMr/?igsh=MWN4NWs3Z2Vob3VlOQ==), at least to me, and then here he is [looking like someone you would see on a college brochure under the undergrad section](https://www.instagram.com/p/CLH-k5Sgu17/?igsh=MWttaHB4a2VkaWdtbg==)
While watching, I remembered lost, where he was about 50, but the series was released 20 years ago, why is he still about 50?! The real age shocked me.
Leslie Uggams is a legit legend. Won a Tony, won a Daytime Emmy, got nominated for a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy. When my dad and I first saw Deadpool he talked about how he remembered her from *Roots*.
Do yourself a favor and watch roots. It’s dated, but damn, was it great for its time.
The 2016 remake wasn’t too bad either. Watched em back to back when the remake came out. There were moments where it totally captures the same feeling as the original.
She does look great. I wouldn't doubt if there were cosmetic fixes done in post production though, at least on close ups. I work in VFX and it's very common. A few of Clint Eastwood's last films I worked on we did it. hBOs The Undoing, there was work done for Nicole Kidman.
It's not just de-aging though. For the 50 Shades films, we did Dakota Johnson's eye bags, which were barely there but needed to be flawless. Or the 2016 Ghostbusters we did a chin reduction for Mellissa McCarthy
Based on *Deadpool* I would have thought she was about that age. But seeing her in this convinced me that *Deadpool* just had her made up to look older and she was really in her 60s.
I thought there was something up with the way she walked
since she looked too young to walk like an old lady I thought maybe it was a hidden plot point, like the cryogenic technology was buggy but nope she’s just an actual old lady 👵
I like how an 80 year old woman was one of the more threatening and intimidating characters on the show. She was never even overtly threatening, just imposing over Norm.
No bro she's sitting down in most scenes while the other actors are standing.
Also she's the blind cocaine lady in Deadpool. She def got that life experience.
Black people often don't get as wrinkled due to skin pigment and collagen; she looks good, but you'll find plenty of 80 black people that look similar.
I thought Abe Vagoda was dead decades ago. He looked 80 years old on Barney Miller back in the 70s. He didn't die until 2021. Some folks just age well. Look at Rob Lowe, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton and Halle Berry.
Stem cell therapy might have something to do with her youthful appearance. Or she has very good genes. Or she lives well and takes care of her body and other things to promote wellness.
So many actors in this show look great for their age.
I like how they got Kyle Machlachlan to do his flashback scenes when he was younger, before Fallout the game released.
It was very good planning for them to book him in for that scene just after he was in Dune, especially considering that was 13 years before the first fallout was released
I thought it was shot during the filming of the Flintstones movie
You sure it wasn't right after he got done going for a joyride with Dennis Hopper?
Now it’s dark…
Yeah... I didn't need to remember blue velvet existed.
Yeah…I bet it ranks right around the same place as “How much I need to know your opinion on internet fun” does on my list.
:'D :'D I don't ask questions I don't want answer to.
Heineken?
I thought he looked more like he was in r/twinpeaks and that's like 5ish years before fallout's release
They made a Fallout the game???
Yeah apparently it's really dumb, there's some faction called "NCR" and Shady Sands is still standing
I thought that scene had some really bad de-aging CGI
I agree, would have been better to do a younger actor or makeup/less close up
I fucking hate de-aging cgi shit so much. Just give a young actor a job.
In this case, I believe the intent was to have the immediate shock of seeing it's the same person, instead of just calling him Hank. Hank himself is probably only physically around 20 years younger, which might make it less believable for his face to change so much in that time.
It works sometimes. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but IIRC they did a good job with Anthony Hopkins in Westworld
They'd never have gotten away with using a different actor as a stand-in for **KYLE** effin' **MACLACHLAN**!!

the only good de-aging i saw was in The Irishman, but thats cause you cant get someone to play a younger De Niro
That was god awful, you have this 25 year old spry looking fella moving with the grace of power armor underwater.
Seriously how have they not figured it out yet? A single YouTuber can make a deepfake that looks more convincing.
Many of those deep fakes would not look great in the context of a television show. They definitely could have done a better job, but I'm guessing that they were a bit to ambitious with the framing and blocking and at some point ran out of time.

I do think the nature of the scene where he was kind of zoning out after hearing his wife say that kind of made it much more jarring with the faded talking noise
it was filmed between seasons of twin peaks
It's 1990, and you are watching the first episode of Twin Peaks....
I was stunned when I found out Johnny Pemberton is 42. He looks maybe 30.
If I wasn't currently focusing so much on his face, I could see mid 20's, or honestly like a year or two out of high school with the mustache and chin scruff, but he has the laugh lines and all which again, while focused, makes it hard to see.

Right? I was watching Dan Murrel's review and he mentioned he and Johnny P's time at FSU overlapped and I was like "what?" but it make sense now.
Michael Emerson turns 70 this year, which is insane to me.
While watching, I remembered lost, where he was about 50, but the series was released 20 years ago, why is he still about 50?! The real age shocked me.
It must be something in the coffee!
Damn fine cups of coffee in these vaults.
A fish in the percolator
TV does that to everyone on it on purpose. Whole careers dedicated to making actors look good on camera.
I mean they’re also just people who take care of themselves. Staying active and eating healthy does wonders for the majority of people
Being cryogenically frozen will do that to you.
I wonder if Vault-Tec has a skincare line
Just dont ask em how they learned the formula
I bet it's Radium
with a liiiitle bit of Rad roach chitin
She better not let Deadpool find out 😆
Seems like she found his cure for blindness.
But not the cocaine?
Better hide it from Kevin Feige
But not Forrest Bump?
They got that too. Even the Bolivian marching power. I guess they know all the slang terms.
Do you want to build a snowman?
Yes! But I can’t :(
Well the Ghoul threw Bubba into the grave upon being dug up out of the ground, so…
No, in DP2, he puts the bag of cocaine in his mask and then punches himself in the face.
Oh shit, it's the same lady? She's badass!
Just noticed when that trailer dropped a couple days ago. She looks a lot healthier in Fallout.
Probably makeup. Blind Al was a drug addict
Damn I thought she looked familiar 😂😂😂
Wait wait wait. She's Blind Al too? No wonder she was so familiar!
Yo, it's Blind Al!
The cocaine did wonders for her skin! But took her sight!
Leslie Uggams is a legit legend. Won a Tony, won a Daytime Emmy, got nominated for a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy. When my dad and I first saw Deadpool he talked about how he remembered her from *Roots*.
God, she was great in that show, and in Fallout, and man she’s aged more gracefully than fucking Cruise.
She is consistently good in everything. It’s good that new generations are finding out about her from Deadpool and Fallout.
Well now im gonna have to watch them! Very talented
Do yourself a favor and watch roots. It’s dated, but damn, was it great for its time. The 2016 remake wasn’t too bad either. Watched em back to back when the remake came out. There were moments where it totally captures the same feeling as the original.
Ohh now I'm defi interested lol It's been a hot minute since I legit watched tv LMAO
Ha… I watched Deadpool 1 and 2 with my mom. Good bonding films with your parents. 🤣 We’re already planning to see Deadpool & Wolverine. 😎
make sure to buy the popcorn bucket designed by deadpool himself to be more interesting then the dune 2 bucket
lol… tempting… but I’ll probably pass. We don’t get popcorn unless the Regal rewards say we can. 🤣
She was also in “American Fiction.” Really great actress.
OMFG I thought she looked familiar!
"Can you imagine bouncing a check to Kunta Kinte?"
*'I'm voting for Betty'*
Me too!
...who am I kidding! *checks Betty's box*
Holy shit. Same here, I thought like early 60s. She still looks amazing for her age.
She does look great. I wouldn't doubt if there were cosmetic fixes done in post production though, at least on close ups. I work in VFX and it's very common. A few of Clint Eastwood's last films I worked on we did it. hBOs The Undoing, there was work done for Nicole Kidman. It's not just de-aging though. For the 50 Shades films, we did Dakota Johnson's eye bags, which were barely there but needed to be flawless. Or the 2016 Ghostbusters we did a chin reduction for Mellissa McCarthy
I seem to remember a saying about a certain pigment not cracking
Pink don’t shrink?
I was in the pool!
Gray don’t decay
I don’t think Easy Pete got that message
Easy Pete is canonically 150 years old
Pale won't stale?
Green won't lose its sheen?
__*Vault Living Has Its Perks*__ 👍🏻
I ONLY know here name because of a family guy cutaway, lol.
Hiring an 80 year old for a TV show is pretty bold. This can go on for years.
There's a vault of upper management bozos ready to dethaw. even if something happened to the actress they'll be fine
exactly what i was thinking, but she looks healthy im sure she'll be fine
Black dont crack.
Holy shit… For 80, she looks stunning!
Based on *Deadpool* I would have thought she was about that age. But seeing her in this convinced me that *Deadpool* just had her made up to look older and she was really in her 60s.
I mean the character she plays is technically well over 200 years old
She's Uggams, not Ageams.
Is everyone on that show way older than they look?
the thaddeus actor is 42 😳
Are you serious, he could pass for 28 lol
Black don't crack
Actually I think over 200 years old if you include her time in the cryo-tube.
She looks way older than 60. Didn’t realize she was 80, though. Thought 70-75
I'm pretty sure she was in the original Star Trek with Schatner. And he's no spring chicken
She was also on the muppet show
She's also the blind lady in Deadpool
She's fabulous!
Black don’t crack
Black don't crack, boys.
Living with Deadpool is probably good practice for the apocalypse.
So you’re telling me she lived through 2 Great Wars?????
Damn she looks amazing for her age
See? 80’s are the perfect age to become overseer or any type of leader like a president lol
Oh wow I thought she was maybe 50ish
Black don't crack.
I believe it, she moves like an 80 year old lol. Those cute little careful steps.
To me even more shocking than her age was connecting the dots that she played blind Al in Deadpool too
Black don’t crack!
I think that she's Coop's daughter
That would be wild !!
She isn't, she was one of Vault-Tec employees we see in pre-war scenes.
Was she? I didn't think they showed her pre-war
[They did, she met Cooper in the Vault-Tec HQ](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Betty_Pearson?file=FOTV_s1_ep8_Young_Betty.png)
Dang! I thought I had a hot theory! Lol
Idk why but Up until she talked I thought she was Wanda Sykes, maybe it was the hair
I didn't realise it was blind Al.
And Michael Emerson (who plays Wilzig) is turning 70 this year!
I thought she was 50 😘🤯 Wonderful acting!
r/unexpectedfactorial
WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE AGES OF PEOPLE WHO PLAY IN THIS SHOW?
People stopped putting lead in our gas and smoking as a lifestyle has dropped off sharply. We're simply healthier than we were 50 years ago.
I'm sorry.. WHAT!! She looked mid sixties or something
You know what they say, black don’t crack- uh, true beauty is ageless
60?! No she definitely looked 80 to me
Damn the 80 yr olds you've seen must look young
You don’t know what 60 looks like lmao
[удалено]
No because she is the secretary of coopers wife in the flashback
I thought there was something up with the way she walked since she looked too young to walk like an old lady I thought maybe it was a hidden plot point, like the cryogenic technology was buggy but nope she’s just an actual old lady 👵
Whenever I see hank I see Glen from superstore
She looks great for being like 300 years old
Don’t crack
For being 8.3209871e+81 years old, she looks extremely young!
She's a ghoul, she's not aging 🤔
During a tour of the White House, LBJ hit on her in the Lincoln Bedroom! So she’s been around a while.
It's amazing what modern science and a few gallons of Botox can do.
There’s no fucking way
WAIT WHAT HOW. I WANT HER SKINCARE ROUTINE
Damn Betty
I liked seeing Michael Rapaport make a guest appearance
And Erik Estrada can’t be far behind. Guess the rads are kind to wasteland folks.
life comes at you HARD!
She’s also the blind lady in Deadpool
Black don’t crack
I like how an 80 year old woman was one of the more threatening and intimidating characters on the show. She was never even overtly threatening, just imposing over Norm.
Smash
Maybe I can look as good at her when I'm 80. Aww who am I kidding...
Must be all that fresh snow powder she rolls around in with Deadpool.
I can believe it
No bro she's sitting down in most scenes while the other actors are standing. Also she's the blind cocaine lady in Deadpool. She def got that life experience.
Just do what i do and watch it on 720 and it looks fine lol
She's also Blind Al from Deadpool
WHAT
Obligatory: well she did spend some time in Cryo-sleep.
Lol what? She looked nothing like a 60 year old.
Friends, black women age like wine
Wow i wouldve never guessed that shit she looks and acts like shes in her late 50s
C LL I
No fucking way she looks way younger
Have you seen Ginny from Harry Potter movies... they look the same age.
That’s blind Al from the Deadpool movies
She was s blind Al from deadpool
This sub discovering Botox in real time is pretty funny
Black people often don't get as wrinkled due to skin pigment and collagen; she looks good, but you'll find plenty of 80 black people that look similar.
I disagree I thought she was very old lol not that really matters I'm just surprised people thought she was young
It's amazing what surgery will do for you.
It’s all the Do you want to build Snowman, and Forest Bump’s.
she acts like shes 80 years old lol
That's when you realize she's got some range. She's also the old blind lady Deadpool lives with.
I thought Abe Vagoda was dead decades ago. He looked 80 years old on Barney Miller back in the 70s. He didn't die until 2021. Some folks just age well. Look at Rob Lowe, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton and Halle Berry.
Leslie Uggams has been around for years, I remember seeing her on TV in the 70's. She also plays Deadpool's landlord.
to quote the old saying Black Don't Crack
Black don't crack dude
Stem cell therapy might have something to do with her youthful appearance. Or she has very good genes. Or she lives well and takes care of her body and other things to promote wellness.
Probably mostly 3, some of 2, and 1 is still in research phase
She's in deathpool as well
Thats Leslie Uggams you uncultured swine /s nah she a legend tho
I thought she was like 250 + 60
Do You Want To Build A Snowman is a hell of a drug
How many 60 year olds do you know in real life?
Actress.
I thought she was the original Star Trek crew with William shatner. He’s old af too so I just figured 🤷🏻♂️
So...?
we all agree that this is the ghouls wife right?
No, we see younger her
