Why? ‘Because he usually acts in an ane costume. Eliot is Hollywood's most well-known ape imitatr. Xbilot's career began in the tate nineteen-seventies when, fresh out of drama school in London, he auditioned forthe part of an ape in the Tarzan movi, Greystoke, He'd had the sense to visit London Z09 to observe chimpanzees beforehand, and impressed the producors with his performance, However, he was the only one out of 40 auditioners who could do a realistic impression, Consequently, the producers had to detay producing the film fortwo years: Meanwtile, Eliott was sent to ‘he Institute of Primate Studies in Oklahoma toleam more about ape language and ‘then pass on is knowledge to actors in the fim, READING [hmite in okahoma he met a primate expert wo was working on a chimpanzee language study, ProjectWastioe, Washoewas € young forale chimp who lived in a house, was treated like @ human child and taught ‘American Sign Language. When Project ‘Washoe ended the chimp was transferred to a primate research centre, where Eliott was allowed to spend time soctaly interacting with ner and other chimps, He leamed sign language s0 he could communicate with Washoe. On one occasion she signed that she wanted an orange. When Eliot said there weren't any she signod for him to get inhi car and get some! However, Eliott was uncomfortable with signing. He felt it wasn't right for Washoe to become human so he started learning basic ape sounds and facial expressions ~ the ‘concentration’ face, the ‘attack’ face, the ‘play’ face and the ‘fear face ~ so that he could communicate with her and the ther chimps in their own language. Eliott returned to ritzin with a range of techniques to present to the actors The producers were delighted and Eliott followed the success of Greystoke by playing some of the most iconic. movie apes of the following decade and becoming the fist port of call for teaching the skill others, as he did forthe 1996 action fim, Congo. He also excels at playing apetike hhumans: in Quest for Fire, for example, he played a momber ofa prehistoric tribe.

To find out, we spoke to stuntman Ben Cornish, who has worked in the film industry for the past ten years, standing in for actors to do dangerous or difficult action scenes. “When Itell people what I do, says Ben, ‘I'm always asked the same questions: “Which celebrities have you met?” “Have you ever been hurt?” and “Are you completely out of your mind?” The answer to the first is “too many to list’, though in reality you never get to form any real bond with them because usually, while they'te being filmed acting one scene, I'm out doing a car chase in another location’ In answer to the other questions, Ben explains: ‘My aim ian’t to accomplish the highest jump or the biggest explosion, but to create a realistic visual effect on film by performing a carefully choreographed sequence. Also, years of safety training and advances in technology mean my job is less dangerous than you © might imagine, so I rarely get hurt, And no, I don’t think I'm crazy. [don’t always get much appreciation for it, but my job has lots to offer ~ it's a great deal of fun and, even more importantly, I get huge satisfaction in knowing that what I do contributes to a film’s success’ Ben adds: ‘Another aspect of my work is having to adapt my movements and posture to match the age and fitness of the actor I'm replacing. Obviously, that requires some acting skill, and most of the actors substitute for are in good shape, so that means | spending hours at the gym.’ On the subject of Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI), Ben says: ‘It’s put a lot of stunt performers out of business recently with film-makers choosing CGI as the safer and cheaper option.
