Special Effects MakeUp
The Tin Man. Fans of "Boardwalk Empire" will be happy to know that Jack Huston will be returning as Richard Harrow, the half-masked sniper assassin. When the character of Richard Harrow was being developed, he had a certain way of speaking. Jack Huston said "I thought they probably had to operate on my neck, my vocal chords got affected. And a cleft palate, having a part of your mouth missing, the dryness in your mouth would be an impediment." Accompanying Jack's talent as an actor is a collaborative effort between costume, props, visual effects, prosthetics, and hair/makeup working together to make up this wonderful character. "When I first received the mask from prosthetics, I painted it to resemble the other side of Jack's face. I distressed the cheek to expose some of the metal underneath the paint to give it an aged look and colored in the mustache and brow to balance out this figure. I then designed two prosthetic scars that lingered out from underneath the mask to add some mystery to what was underneath it. Finally, the scar that damaged Harrow's vocal chords was placed on Jack's throat."
