The director decided that using Rip Torn (Zed) as well as Frank the Pug and Tony Shalhoub (Jeebs) would make the movie feel stale from overusing characters. It was a decision designed to make the movie fresher for new audiences.

"We had to lose some of our favorite characters because we didn't want to go back to the well repeatedly. So that meant that there's in effect no Frank the pug - he's in one shot. There's no Tony Shalhoub who played Jeebs, who's a character we love, but we didn't bring him back. We didn't bring back Rip Torn who played Zed - there's a new leader of Men in Black. Because we just felt that we used some of those characters too much in the second movie, that we used Frank the pug too much, and that we didn't want the movie to feel stale. We wanted it to feel new and fresh."
