Jumpsuits can get hot indoors, so wear moisture-wicking undergarments to stay cool.
If you plan to sit for long periods, opt for a slightly looser fit to avoid the suit pulling.
Practice your favorite movie quotes like 'If you ain't first, you're last!' to stay in character.
Keep your hands free for photos by tucking your prop can into a pocket when not in use.
