The guy next to Frank the Pug


Any idea who the actor was that was with Frank the Pug when K and J pull up? J remarkes, "Now that guy is definitely an alien.".

Wow, I was *just* about to come on here and ask that same question! I would love to know who that guy is - very creepy looking.

reply

That guy is Richard O'Brian, notable for his performance as Riff-Raff (an alien) in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He is dressed as his character in that movie.

... I think more notable for *writing* The Rocky Horror Picture Show. :)

reply

No. The joke was certainly meant to be the character of Riff as an expert on aliens, but the actor is most certainly NOT O'Brien.

I watched Men in Black for the first time after seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time. I laughed so hard, I headed here right away to talk about it. You see, Frank's introduction has always been one of my favorite parts of the movie, but now the humor of the scene is more complete for me.

The guy at the bottom of this post figured it out. The actor died in 2014.
