Bernard Bresslaw gets into costume for the part of Varga in 'The Ice Warriors' Even though all the actors playing the Ice Warriors were over six feet tall, 6ft 7in Bernie towered over them all, resulting in Sonny Caldinez, one of the other actors, stated that he 'was the only man that could make me feel small'!
