We're honored to welcome to the show Kazu Hiro, an Oscar-winning makeup effects designer from Japan whose credits include THE GRINCH, PLANET OF THE APES and THE DARKEST HOUR, which earned him and Gary Oldman Academy Awards for the stunning transformation into Winston Churchill. In the conversation, we discuss Kazu's personal relationship with makeup legends Dick Smith and Rick Baker (who created iconic makeups for THE EXORCIST and MEN IN BLACK); why a call from Gary Oldman brought him back from retirement with THE DARKEST HOUR; how turning 50 informed his love for fine art and the projects he’ll be taking on during his time left in the business; the Oscar-winning design for BOMBSHELL—and much more.
