Hvem spillede fluen i den originale film?
David Hedison
The Fly (1958 film)
Lippert forsøgte at besætte rollen som André Delambre med Michael Rennie og Rick Jason, før han valgte den dengang stort set ukendte David Hedison (på skærmen kaldet "Al Hedison").Hedisons "Fly"-kostume bestod af et fluehoved på 20 pund, som han sagde om: "At prøve at spille skuespil i den var som at prøve at spille klaver med boksehandsker på". Hedison var aldrig tilfreds med sminken, men sminkchef Ben Nye Sr. var fortsat meget positiv over for hans arbejde og skrev år senere, at selv om han havde lavet mange efterfølgende science fiction-film, "har jeg aldrig lavet noget så sofistikeret eller originalt som The Fly".

The Fly (1958 film)
Lippert tried to cast Michael Rennie and Rick Jason in the role of André Delambre, before settling on then mostly-unknown David Hedison (billed as "Al Hedison" on-screen.) Hedison's "Fly" costume featured a twenty-pound fly's head, about which he said: "Trying to act in it was like trying to play the piano with boxing gloves on". Hedison was never happy with the makeup, but Makeup Director Ben Nye Sr. remained very positive about his work, writing years later that despite doing many subsequent science fiction films, "I never did anything as sophisticated or original as The Fly".
