Contrary to the claim that David Cross played another character...


I remember in the Making of Men In Black II, as well as possibly the novelization, Newton (David Cross) at the video store, said to Kay that he was th guy who was slimed up at the ceiling, and the creators claimed that they don't know why, but Newton was not neuralyzed until, as we see in the movie, Jay neuralyzes him and Hailey after Kay gets his memory of the Light of Zartha incident back from a glamourized video that deviated from what really happened, but Kay figured it out. And I don't care if Newton in this one acts different from the first one. There is two proofs of why they are both the same: He said to Jay and Kay, "Have you seen any aliens lately?" And when Jay used the neuralyzer, Newton knew what it was and was awe-stricken before it flashed. If any of you still have the making of Men In Black II or the junior novelization, I'm sure you'd read Newton claiming to be the guy who was slimed up at the ceiling. And I know that after they wrote the junior novelization and started filming, much like they cut out the war between Arquillians and Baltians in the first one and just had there be Arquillians, they changed the fact that something of Laura's was the Light of Zartha and she then gets neuralyzed to Laura actually being to Light of Zartha, as well as the late Laurannna's daughter and, I think, Kay's as well, but I'm pretty sure they didn't change it because of the main plot change. I think they didn't think it was important, but trust me, I read a draft of the script in the Making of Men In Black II book. What do you think of that?
