"Then, once I felt like I had conquered Mexico, I could come back to California and try it on a few people here, see if that worked, then try it on my friends," Brolin recalled. "Then I'd go through half days of doing nothing but Tommy."
"Men in Black 3" is the third movie featuring Jones and Brolin, after "No Country" and "In the Valley of Elah." The movie begins and ends in present times, with Smith's J, as always, trying to draw out Jones' taciturn sad-sack K. The mid-section sends J back to 1969, where a nasty alien plots to kill Brolin's young K so he can carry out an invasion of Earth in the future.
Sonnenfeld has vivid memories of that night with the Coens, when he first met Brolin. What struck Sonnenfeld more than Brolin's Jones impersonation was a physical feature the two actors share.
"What I remember," said the director, "is, oh my God, this man is the only person on the planet that has a head as physically as huge as Tommy Lee Jones."
