Why did Dreyfuss look the same in the 80's as he did in earlier times?

This is the only problem I had with the movie. The fact that Dreyfuss looked the same in the 80's as he did in the late 60's, 70's...like they only had one make-up process that could be applied.

The same goes with William H. Macy. He looked identical as well, with a 60's crew cut in the 80's.

It's almost as if the director/producer didn't originally intended for the movie to advance into the 80's.

I feel like Dreyfus was the only character that was aging in this whole film. The other teachers practically looked the same age as from the 50s

'Richard Dreyfuss was born old looking.'

To think he is still one of the youngest actor to win a Best actor oscar!

It's that man again!!
