Only man in Hollywood who can claim all four titles of stuntman,
make-up artist, actor, and director. Only one man has come close:
makeup artist, actor, stuntman Lon Chaney - Tom's influence and childhood
idol.
[asked if his Vietnam experiences influence his makeup effects) I
get asked that question a lot. I did see a lot of first-hand
anatomically correct gore and I think the most important part of that
was if we create a dead body or situation there's a certain feeling you
get from seeing the real thing. If I'm creating a gory effect and I
don't get the same feeling when I saw the real stuff, I'm not
satisfied.
