Actors Inside Famous Costumes, Revealed: Chewbacca, Godzilla, Big Bird
Flavorwire has created a series that reveals the actors or actresses behind costumed characters, such as Star Wars’ Chewbacca, Godzilla, and Sesame Street’s Big Bird.

In ‘Exposed: The Actors Inside Famous Costumes’, Flavorwire solves “the mystery of costumed characters once and for all—or at least for ten of film’s and TV’s favorite masked mortals”, writer Jennifer Lewis wrote.

“We’ve compiled some kids’ characters, a couple of sci-fi villains, a handful of cuddly creatures paired with the suit actors within.”

Is it hard to picture these humans as these iconic costume characters?
