Daggit "actors"
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2011 12:48 am
Here I'm posting up info on the "actors" for all the Daggits:
- Muffit: Played by Peanuts. The dog who portrayed the original living daggit in the scenes on Caprica.
- Muffit II: Played by a pair of chimpanzees. The main performer was named Evolution. (Nicknames: Eve or Evie), and her understudy was named Doc.
- Daggit in stage show: Played by a chimpanzee named Livingston.
There is a post card of him too that reads: "Livingston appears as Daggit in Ray Berwick's Animal Show." ... and you see him eating some ice cream with the costume's head off next to a pic in full costume beside Ray Berwick - who is holding the R/C controller for the head's servos. - Daggits in G1980: Unknown "actors." (Presumable one might be Evie?)
- On long takes that did not require movement, the production crew did the "acting" via an articulated form inside the empty suit.
