Actor Peter Macon (The Orville) put on a motion capture suit to play Raka, the lone orangutan in KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. While the other actors playing chimpanzees and gorillas rehearsed in a group, Macon was on the sidelines learning on his own since orangutans are mostly isolated creatures. He reveals the experience was lonely and he had to learn to trust in the motion capture process.
KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is in movie theaters May 10.
