"I met Jack Pierce - he was one of the great pioneers of special effects makeup. He created amazing motion picture makeups with techniques, materials and talent that few knew how to use. His makeups would so totally transform an actor into a believable screen image that it would change the lives of the viewing audience forever. It should be noted that through his creative shows and DVDs, as in the one for Pierce and others, Scott Essman properly pays homage to our makeup greats by preserving their historical cinematic importance." --- Michael Westmore, Oscar-Winning Makeup Artist / 18-Year-Long Department Head of Makeup for STAR TREK
