Other than in wide-shots when stand-ins were used, Ian portrays every
Predator seen in Alien Vs. Predator.
Had a hard time dealing with the weight of the Predator makeup when he
went in for the first costume test for Alien Vs. Predator. Therefore,
he devised a method of building muscle where he would stuff a vest with
rocks and jog regularly for a few weeks. When he went back in for the
second costume test, he was stronger and able to carry the weight of
the outfit better.
Doubled for Frances de la Tour as Madame Maxime in Harry Potter and the
Goblet of Fire. In order to get his movements and body language
correct, Frances would work with Ian on a regular basis, and would
often watch him on set when he doubled for her.
