MEET BRUCE LARSEN

Bruce is just a big kid with an even bigger imagination. He also happens to be a notable sculptor and special effects artist who occasionally rubs shoulders with the Hollywood elite. Encountering famous actors is bound to happen when you spend your days on movie sets creating monsters, dead bodies and other bizarre and gory cinematic elements. 

I enjoyed chatting with Bruce for this interview column. The next time you're at the movies and a sanguineous scene evokes the urge to vomit the contents of your bowels into your friend's lap, odds are Bruce is responsible for your intestinal discomfort. No need to blame him though. He wouldn't mind anyway. Big kids rarely do. 

Here's the column.
