Picture Trivia

          The Marvel Comics cosmic superhero Silver Surfer (a.k.a. Norrin Radd of the Planet Zenn-La) was conceptualized by Jack Kirby and first appeared on Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966). Do you know that the character was unintentionally made? Even at the beginning, writer-editor Stan Lee was hesitant of including a character riding on a surfboard.
          Silver Surfer’s silver screen debut was in the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Do you know that two actors portrayed the character in the said film? The physical actor was Doug Jones, and the one who voiced the character was Laurence Fishburne. At the beginning, the production team was not sure if the Silver Surfer will have a dialogue. Fishburne was first chosen to be the voice of Galactus. In the finality, Galactus was not given a talking physical form but merely a cloudlike shape, and Fishburne eventually ended up voicing the Silver Surfer. One additional trivia – Doug Jones once worked as a contortionist.
