My name is Dwayne Whitehead and my brother and I used to run a Halloween prop company named Prop Masters, Inc. We did work for retailers, theme parks, haunted attractions , and museums. We've done work for Hollywood Wax Museum, Chaney Entertainment, as well as many other Higher end Businesses.

I did all of the sculpting for our company. Whenever there was a high profile character I needed to do I would try to use the actor's life cast to get as accurate as I could to the character. For years now I have been looking for a copy of a life cast of JONATHAN FRID to do a Barnabas Collins figure. I have contacted the original make up artist's (DICK SMITH) people to see if they could help with finding a copy of the life cast. I know they made one of Mr. Frid to do the old age make up but nobody seems to know where to find a copy of this cast.

My question to you is obviously do you know where I could acquire a copy of this life cast (even if it was on loan)? If you could help me out on finding a copy of this life cast I would be more than happy to give you a copy of the completed head for your efforts.



I've included a few photos of some of my work so you my have an idea of what I'm thinking of doing and to see the detail I put into my work.



Thank you for your time and any help you could give would be more than appreciated.

I received a message last night from Dwayne Whitehead, a sculptor seeking help in finding a very unique DARK SHADOWS artifact. Here's what he had to say:So do any of you know what happened to Frid's life cast? Is it in the hands of a collector, or possibly sitting in a storage locker? Was it destroyed years ago? If you know how to help Dwayne, leave a comment below, or shoot me a private message. My e-mail link is in the tabs at the top of the page.
