When actor Will Shephard turned up at the Beverley Hills offices of Dino De Laurentiis, he expected to be interviewed for a modest role in the great man’s next production.
“My agent told me on the phone that you were looking for actors who could do animal movements, but she didn’t tell me what the film was about,” said Will.
“It’s King Kong,” said the producer.
“You mean a remake of the 1933 film?”
“Yes.”
“What’s the role I’m being considered for?”
“It’s Kong.”
And so began an extraordinary few months in Will’s life as he joined fellow actor and make-up artist Rick Baker to become the one of the ‘guys in the ape suit’, striding through miniature jungles, wrestling a giant rubber snake, running amok in Manhattan and scaling the World Trade Center. Inside the suit it was fearsomely hot, the special contact lenses made him dizzy and he frequently had to insert a tube through the gorilla mask in order to breathe.
But the illusion was perfect audiences never knew that the highly publicized, forty-foot tall, mechanical Kong that had cost millions of dollars to develop only got a few seconds of exposure, and that on screen for the rest of the movie were Rick and Will, clad in rubber and bear-hide.
Inside King Kong is Will’s journal of his experiences on the set in 1976. This delightful, engaging and funny account is accompanied by behind-the-scenes photographs that are being published for the first time.

I really enjoyed this one! I have always been a fan of KK76, and Will Shepard's book adds another welcome "gospel" to Kong's resurrection back in the 1970s. There are some amazing stills, too, from his personal collection. Recommended for fans of this underrated movie.Product details

Inside King Kong A Journal edition by Will Shephard Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
Most fans of Dino De Laurentiis's 1976 remake of KING KONG know that Academy Award-winning make-up man Rick Baker played Kong in the movie, wearing a sophisticated ape suit he help create. What many people don't know is that Baker shared that suit with another performer -- actor, director, playwright, performance artist, and teacher Will Shephard. For several months in the spring, summer, and fall of 1976, Shephard got the chance to live out a movie lover's dream -- to play the "tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood in all of his ferocious glory on the big screen. Shephard shared the role with Baker in a number of scenes and was the lead performer in the scenes in which Kong battled the giant snake, was captured after breaking through the Great Wall, and climbed the World Trade Center. And now he has written about his experiences in this wonderful new book. INSIDE KING KONG A JOURNAL is Shephard's very well written account of his time playing Kong. It provides fascinating details and insight into the making of this cult favorite film, as well as into the life of an up-and-coming actor working on his first big Hollywood production. I have written a book and several articles on the making of KONG 76 and thought I knew everything there was to know about the making of that particular film, but Will's book provided me with details and information that was entirely new to me and deepened my understanding of the production considerably. Fond and friendly, Shephard's journal is a treat for King Kong fans, for fans of KONG 76, and for movie lovers in general. I highly recommend it.
