 Donovan Leitch (qv), who plays Paul Taylor, had to have a full  body cast made of himself for one of the more complicated scene  where Paul underneath the blob. There were about 50 people running  the unstrung Paul. However, Chuck Russell (qv) did not tell  Shawnee Smith (qv) it was really Donovan Leitch (qv) underneath  the Blob for the first part of the scene. She believed it was going  to be an unstrung person. This was so he could get more of a shock  out of her. That is the take that is now seen in the movie when Meg  screams out Pauls name upon discovering him.
