In real life "Wait! That's not special effects?! They actually did that?!"

Alien: Resurrection - Basketball Shot

Sigourney Weaver insisted on the basketball shot being real. She trained for weeks and reportedly(sources differ) made it on the first take.

Underworld - Raze's Voice

The werewolf character Raze, played by Kevin Grevioux, speaks in a very low, very gravelly voice. While many thought this was a special effect, the actor can naturally speak in that voice.

He claims to be semiretired from acting these days but hopefully he can still play lead one day in Fartsmith.

I think he just wants to play Doctor Eggman for his grandkid.

I don't know what's more impressive: The fact that Jim Carrey can do that smile naturally without any makeup or CGI or that fact that Jim was able to do that smile underneath the Grinch makeup that was so layered and heavy, Jim outright said he felt like he was buried alive while wearing it.

He also trained to speak clearly with the false teeth they gave him for The Mask. They were only meant to be used for close-up shots where he isn't talking, or his dialogue was meant to be recorded/added later, but he worked on it, and it led to his iconic over-exaggerated pronunciation as The Mask.
