Makeup head and prosthetics designer Scott Wheeler put four distinct transformations into Regina King’s “One Night in Miami.”
Wheeler, who is on the Academy shortlist for makeup and hairstyling, was tasked with re-creating four icons for the film: Cassius Clay, played by Eli Goree; Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge); Malcolm X, played by Kingsley Ben-Adir and Sam Cooke, played by Leslie Odom Jr.
Wheeler and his team had four actors with different preferences about makeup and hair.
Neither Ben-Adir and Goree wanted prosthetics, while Hodge and Odom Jr. did. The key was not to betray audience’s expectations about what these men looked like.
Wheeler’s team was made up of Key Makeup Artist Sabrina Cruz Castro, Hair Department Head Nakoya Yancy and Key Hair/Barber Wayne Jolla, Jr.
Below, Wheeler shares images on how he recreated the looks.
