In 2009's movie remake of the 70's children's TV show, Land of the Lost, there is a race of antagonistic reptilian humanoids called 'Sleestaks'. In the film there is an intelligent, English-speaking, troublemaking Sleestak called 'Enik the Altrusian', who is the only Sleestak of his race who wears clothes.
Original Enik the Altrusian prosthetic head from Land of the Lost
This fantastic prosthetic head on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on March 28, 2011, was created by Spectral Motion artists based on the original television series designs.
This Enik animatronic mask was worn by Canadian actor John Boylan.

As Enik is a more evolved creature than the rest of his species, his head is filled with animatronic motors to help express more emotion, like a furrowing brow, the ability to squint and intricately moving lips.
The movements were controlled by a dedicated puppeteer and the head itself weighed more than thirteen pounds.

Enik the Altrusian's large four-inch diameter dome eyes are also coated with a special holographic reflective film to create a more membranous look.
