10 Movies That Tried To Fool You Into Thinking An Actor Was In The Film
8. Roy Scheider - Iron Cross
Similarly to Bruce Lee, Roy Scheider tragically passed away before he could finish up work on his last-ever screen credit in 2009's little known thriller Iron Cross.
So, the decision was made to use technical wizardry to complete the one final scene that remained for him to shoot on the flick. This was still a few years before the likes of Paul Walker and Peter Cushing were digitally brought back to life in the likes of the Fast & Furious and Star Wars franchises, however, so more than a few people were sceptical over just how successful the end results of a CGI realising of the iconic star of Jaws would turn out.
In the end, the technical team behind the flick massively succeeded in convincing those watching that it was in fact Scheider on screen and not a stand-in during this key moment, through the combination of the aforementioned CGI and a prosthetic mask of the star's face.
He may have still been present for 95% of the shoot, but even when he wasn't, these moviemakers fooled most people into thinking he very much was.
