Rick Baker, six-time Academy Award winning special-fx makeup artist, is the guy responsible for creating the cantina aliens in “Star Wars” and other fantastic effects, characters and creatures in “An American Werewolf in London”, “Harry and the Hendersons”, “The Nutty Professor”, “Men In Black”, “Thriller” starring Michael Jackson, and the forthcoming Universal remake of “The Wolf Man” starring Benicio Del Toro, to name a few.  He made my day today by entertaining the idea of putting these huge plastic fangs on his head.  He’s awesome!!

Rick also hosts a YouTube channel posting some of his fun computer animations.  Check it out HERE!
