Stan Edmonds
Stan Edmonds (born December 24, 1960) has been a motion picture makeup artist for over 30 years. He has over 50 film and television credits and has served as head of department on such films as I, Robot, The Butterfly Effect, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Scary Movie, and Clint Eastwood's Academy Award–winning film Unforgiven. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Edmonds has worked across Canada and the United States and has worked with well-known actors, like Sylvester Stallone, Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston and Ashton Kutcher. He currently teaches makeup for film and television at the Vancouver Film School.
In November 2010 an Asian man in his early 20s from rural China managed to board an Air Canada flight to Vancouver disguised as an elderly white man. He took off his mask in the airplane's bathroom, and made a claim for refugee status upon landing in British Columbia. Edmonds was interviewed by several national news outlets for his professional opinion on how the disguise was accomplished.[1]
