Mykelti Williamson was breathtaking when he played Bubba. He looked and played the part so well that it was easy to overlook one notable thing about him. Thanks to the wonders of Hollywood magic, his lower lip became a piece of movie history whenever he spoke.

That jutting lip that was associated with Bubba was just a prosthetic. He even had to be fitted for it, which took quite awhile to perfect. It fooled everyone who’s seen it and many people were shocked when they saw the actor offset, not sporting the feature.
