Director Sir Ridley Scott originally wanted to use animatronics (remote-operated puppets) to portray the Alien, thereby hoping to avoid the sight of a monster obviously being played by a man in a suit. Unfortunately, the special effects techniques at the time weren't sophisticated enough for what he had in mind, but he agreed to an actor playing the part after being introduced to Bolaji Badejo. Badejo was a graphic artist who was discovered at a pub by one of the casting directors. He was 208 cm (six feet almost 10 inches) tall with very thin arms, just what they needed to make the Alien look less human and more insect-like. He was sent for Tai Chi and mime classes to learn how to slow down his movements. A special swing had to be constructed for him to sit down during filming, as he could not sit down on a regular chair once he was suited up, because of the Alien's tail.
