Dan's makeup genius

My brother's best friend Dan McCloud works in the makeup buisness, he does the makeup for our various productions, tv shows, and movies. His work is quite good- and all his creature makeup designs are incredibly realistic. He studies at the same makeup school Rick Baker and Rob Botin used to go to. His idol is fellow makeup artist Rick Baker who is one of the all time greats when it comes to movie makeup. And we like his work too- we thought the work he did on Thriller was brilliant especially the werecat (some say it's a werewolf, but we say it's a werecat) and the zombies, and also the makeup he did for American Werewolf In London was stunning and to this day it still remains as one of the best werewolf movies- the transformation scene was pure gold (there hasn't been a werewolf movie with a transformation THAT good yet, they can try but AWIL's famous transformation scene reins supreme). But probably the best makeup work Rick has ever done is How The Grinch Stole Christmas which is one of all time Jim Carrey movies. The grinch makeup he did was amazing, I mean you couldn't tell it was Jim.
