Michael Berryman in Mask Maker (2011)
When the god Eracles learns of his forced resignation from the Great God Council; he becomes highly irate, corrupt, and more powerful. Meet Mr. Blue Shirt, he is one of the main products of creation by Eracles, now known as the Story-Teller. These fictional characters are born into reality and really aren't so 'fictional' after all. What happens when you place one of these characters onto a real, unwritten planet?

Late 1970s horror genre icon who's best known for his creepy performance as "Pluto" in the uncompromising Wes Craven horror film The Hills Have Eyes (1977). Berryman (who suffers from Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, a rare condition leaving him with no sweat glands, hair, fingernails or teeth) reminds one of a latter-day Rondo Hatton who also suffered from a rare medical condition that distorted his features giving him a brutish look just right for horror movies.

To Berryman's credit, he managed to develop upon his "Pluto" character, and has turned up in numerous sci-fi / fantasy movies such as My Science Project (1985), Weird Science (1985), Armed Response (1986) and Evil Spirits (1991). The tall & lean Berryman generally portrays mutant bikers, evil undertakers, monsters and other frightening characters! A genuine favorite of horror movie fans.

  • Quotes
    [on being bullied as a child] I was pretty well grounded. I was being teased and whatever and I didn't have anger skills, so I would go to the parents and say your children are brats and tell them they were bad parents.
