* {{Improv}}: Famously disliked a good deal of his lines in ''Men in Black'', so about half of K's lines are Jones' ad-libs. It works ''perfectly'' for the movie, because J's fresh-faced rookie trying to catch-up is most of the time [[EnforcedMethodActing Will Smith legitimately getting just taken for a ride by Jones]], and the director saving the results.
