 The Part of the Frankenstein Monster was originally offered to  British actor and former strongman David Prowse (qv) (Darth  Vader), who declined due to health problems. The part then went to  Brian Carrillo (qv) who had played the Monster on stage during a  four year run in BEETLEJUICES GRAVEYARD REVIEW at the Universal  Studios theme park in Hollywood. The Monster makeup design was  altered to avoid copyright infringement issues with Universal  Studios.
