Special-effects artist Justin Raleigh talks Oscars, “The Knick” and “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”
Justin Raleigh grew up in Apple Valley in a family without money or resources. So when a high-school friend’s mom, who was a professional photographer, offered him a job doing beauty makeup, he jumped at it.
“As a kid, this was always a dream to someday make it to this point. It’s been a whirlwind and very surreal,” the special-effects makeup artist says. “Jessica was very adamant that she wanted it to be transformative. She didn’t want to just try with traditional hair and makeup and wigs,” he says. “She felt like there was just no way she could play Tammy Faye without the cheeks and Tammy’s iconic elements.”
“In the world of prosthetics, with that level of coverage – at that stage, over two-thirds of the skin you see is prosthetic – four hours is considered a really good number,” Raleigh says. Realistic prosthetics are a specialty of Raleigh’s – he helped create Linda Tripp’s astonishing visage for “Impeachment: American Crime Story.” But therun the gamut from “Big Little Lies” and “Westworld” to “Army of the Dead,” the newest “Aquaman” and the gruesomely engaging Steven Soderbergh series, “The Knick,” where Raleigh’s realistic wounds were the product of intense research.
