To play Cokey the bear in 'Cocaine Bear,' motion capture performer Allan Henry turned to some of cinema’s most memorable beasts. 'I looked at bears that have been in media, like the bear from ‘The Revenant'...I looked at what we had done with Baloo.'
in Elizabeth Banks’ “Cocaine Bear” is an impressive feat of visual effects wizardry, but there was an actual person behind the 500-pound, drug-addicted beast. Meet Allan Henry, the motion capture performer who played the bear on set so that actors such as Keri Russell, Ray Liotta, and Alden Ehrenreich had something real to interact with during scenes. When Liotta fights the bear in the film’s third act, for instance, he was actually facing off with Henry on set.
“On films like the ‘Apes’ trilogy or ‘Godzilla vs. Kong,’ there’s something more human about those characters because of their enhanced intelligence and their greater experience, whereas Cokey is just a bear,” Henry said. “Well, I shouldn’t say just a bear. Cokey is a bear. The challenge was trying to move as close as I could to how a bear would move, the pace that a bear would take, the way that a bear would breathe and explore the environment around them.
“There’s a ring that supports your forearm and then rods that come down the sides and there’s a hand grip so I can hold onto it,” Henry said of his crutches-like outfit. “And then that extends even further to essentially a foot or a prosthetic, like a rubber ball or something. It means that the length of my arm is now half a meter longer. And then I have a helmet, very similar to the camera rigs we would use normally in performance capture to capture facial performance.
