GMAN, Tor Johnson was a Swedish wrestler who started in the US as a character actor playing in everything from Abbott and Costello movies to Ed Wood's super laughingly low budget "Plan 9 from Outer Space". In "Plan 9", he ends up as a zombie which is how I painted him. He has a cult following, so I thought it'd be fun to paint him for the Bat's Day in the Fun Park at Disneyland show coming up. I don't know - it seems like I always end up painting old, bald or gray haired actors.... wait, Einstein wasn't an actor .. :wink: http://www.samgambino.com [ Edited by: Sam Gambino 2006-08-12 21:29 ]
