  My guest today is John Caglione junior.

• 00:08

  He is an Academy Award winning and Emmy award winning makeup artist at 15 years old, when he's in high school, he started becoming really obsessed.

• 00:18

  Actually, the obsession started way earlier with movies and also certainly monster movies and just how the craft of makeup, not just beauty makeup, but special effects makeup, was done in this incredible way to transform people.

• 00:33

  He did this one incredible thing that led him to become mentored by one of the most legendary names in movie makeup and special effects, a guy named Dick Smith.

• 00:45

  And it was Dick Smith who then jump started John's career by recommending him to the NBC makeup program in 1976, where John would then end up honing his skills, working on game shows, soaps, and then for six years with the original cast of Saturday Night Live.

  And after that stint was done, he started going out on his own and started doing all of this work on movies like Quest for Fire, Zealand, Cotton Club, Heat, Dick Tracy.

• 01:11

  And he also designed and applied Heath Ledger's sort of legendary, really iconic Joker character makeup in the Dark Knight.

• 01:19

  He was nominated for an Oscar that year for best makeup, and he has been the personal makeup artist to Al Pacino for a solid 30 years and worked most recently with Al in the Irishman and hunters.

  So excited to explore John's career, his interests, the art and craft of makeup, and the different angles and the different paths that that actually encompasses.

  I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.

• 01:55

  You become interested in the world of makeup and effects.

• 01:59

  Did this start originally, though, with a fascination with movies or tv or film?

• 02:04

  Was there something behind that?

• 02:05

  Yeah, I think it's all that.

• 02:07

  It was just the environment at the time.

• 02:09

  You know, this is like the late sixties going into the early seventies, and then the explosion of the seventies films.

• 02:17

  Like the Godfather and then the Exorcist.

• 02:20

  Poltergeist.

• 02:21

  Yeah.

• 02:22

  And it started to grow certain types of makeup artists and special effects technicians.
