There’s one entry you forgot: Dick Tracy. Apparently, the actors found the makeup process to be time consuming and a little taxing. Everyone, including William Forsythe as Flattop, had to sit in the chair for hours at a time and Forsythe said that the process put him in the proper mood to play Flattop, which worked in his favor because it’s an underrated performance.

I personally feel that Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein Monster and The Mummy, and Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man should be on this list. All those three characters became icons for their amazing makeup by Jack Pierce, but were really painful to wear behind the scenes. Jack Pierce was known for using “out-of-the-kit” makeup techniques and he would often use materials such as cotton, collodion and spirit gum to create facial features for his makeups, which were very uncomfortable and agonizing for the actors to wear, and it took a long time to put on the makeup (like up to 8 hours a day) and almost equally as long and painful to take it off.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Star Trek: Enterprise -- Before swinging a frightening bat on The Walking Dead, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was cast as a Xindi Reptilian in the episode "Carpenter Street". Every part of his body not underneath the uncomfortable costume had to have prosthetic makeup, which took many hours to apply. He was still relatively unknown as an actor at the time, and he is on record as saying working on this episode nearly made him walk away from acting completely.

Brent Spiner played silver-skinned Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, a 90's tv show. As a primary character for 7 years plus additional feature movies, and later Star Trek: PIcard. Although he often detailed the time-consuming process in interviews I seldom would have classified the statements as a complaint. In present years, I do feel that his skin complexion is very poor probably as a result of the makeup process.

It's a shame what they say about the first RoboCop, but it was MUCH HARDER for Robert John Burke in RoboCop 3. With its large dimensions, he had to fit into the RoboCop suit, which was almost never changed to suit his needs. And unlike RoboCop 1, RoboCop 3 is considered a bad film (although, in my opinion, it is quite good).
