David Harbour<\/a> has undergone quite the transformation for his newest screen role.<\/p>\nNot long after the Nov. 6 Stranger Things<\/a><\/em> season 5 premiere<\/a> in Los Angeles, the 50-year-old actor was spotted on the set of true-crime thriller Evil Genius<\/a><\/em>, now filming with Courteney Cox<\/a> at the helm as director.<\/p>\nIn photos captured on Monday, Nov. 10, Harbour looked practically unrecognizable amid the New Jersey shoot. With graying hair and a fluffy gray beard, he wore a blue short-sleeved button-down and jeans overalls over what appears to be a padded suit.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\nBobby Bank\/GC Images<\/p>\n

The Thunderbolts<\/em> star is evidently playing Brian Douglas Wells, a real-life pizza deliveryman who died in 2003 amid his robbery of a bank near his Erie, Penn. hometown. Evil Genius <\/em>follows Wells\u2019 infamous “pizza bomber” case<\/a>, which involved an FBI investigation that uncovered a complex robbery and murder scheme.<\/p>\nBefore his death, Wells famously maintained his innocence, alleging that he was forced to walk into the bank and demand $250,000 in cash.<\/p>\n
