Q&A: Makeup Artist Rick Baker on His 'MIB3' Cameo and His Favorite Creature Ever

Seven-time Oscar-winning special effects makeup artist Rick Baker is the man behind the unforgettable creature creations in "An American Werewolf in London," "Harry and the Hendersons," "The Ring," "The Nutty Professor" and "Men in Black," to name just a few.

Now Baker returns with all-new aliens for "Men in Black III," in which Will Smith's Agent J must travel back in time to 1969 to prevent an alien from offing a young version of Tommy Lee Jones's Agent K (played in the '60s scenes by Josh Brolin).

Were Baker's 1969 aliens more old-school than their modern counterparts? How can viewers spot Baker's cameo in the film as an alien? What is Baker's favorite creature that he has ever made? He answers these questions and more in the video above.
