My Interview With Rick Baker and Mike Marino


The Los Angeles Times asked me if I'd be interested in talking to the two men who did the makeup for the two Coming to America films. I sure was: Rick Baker, who did Coming to America, is one of the giants of the industry, while Mike Marino, who handled Coming 2 America, is one of the real rising stars. They're friends, and we had a very fun chat about how to transform Eddie Murphy, both then and now, into the movies' different characters. Hope you enjoy.
