It took a village to create the masterful transformation of Jessica Chastain into icon Tammy Faye Bakker, and Just Raleigh allows us inside the detailed work that he contributed. A prolific artist, Justin was behind the special effects work for Jessica Chastain, Andrew Garfield, Cherry Jones, and Vincent D'Onofrio. We talk about his work in great detail, and as a bonus, we delved into the world of American Crime Story | Impeachment which is currently on FX. Justin's company Fractured FX is behind that mind-blowing transformation of Sarah Paulson into Linda Tripp, Annaleigh Ashford into Paula Jones and Clive Owens into Bill Clinton.

I'm thrilled to kick off Season 2 with a look into the work of the tremendously talented and incredibly humble Lawrence Davis.  His latest project, RESPECT, is in theaters as we speak, so please go see it to truly enjoy Jennifer Hudson as Aretha Franklin and also to bask in the  work of hair magician, Lawerence Davis.  He also shares with me the incredible story of what brought his career to fruition and set him on  the path of what would become the department head for shows like Claws,  Watchmen, The Underground Railroad, Mare of Easttown, and the upcoming  Mothership.

Lawrence joined me literally in between takes while working on Mothership for Netflix, so please enjoy our chat and please forgive any audio challenges - I apologize in advance but I did steal time in the makeup trailer and we had a slight audio challenge so I recommend watching this episode on youtube if you can!
