Bela dismisses Boris Karloff's role of Frankenstein (1931)'s monster as "all makeup and grunting." In real life, Bela Lugosi was offered the part. He judiciously turned it down because it didn't have any speaking lines and the role was that of a one-dimensional killing machine without depth. When Karloff was offered the part, it had gone through monumental changes, including a different part (completely rewritten by then) and a new director, James Whale.
