Trivia

  • Christopher Tucker designed the makeup for Andrew Lloyd Webber's mega box musical, "The Phantom of the Opera" for the star of the show when it premiered, actor/singer/writer Michael Crawford. Apparently it took six months to design and perfect the makeup and originally it took 3 hours to put on at first, but they reduced it to a half hour. After Crawford left the show, the makeup was changed to suit the replacement actor.
  • Transformed Terry Jones into the fantastically obese Mr Creosote in Monty Python's Monty Python's the Meaning of Life (1983).
  • Specialized in the creation of prosthetic make-up for horror films.
  • Studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
  • Attended several education establishments including Elizabeth College in Guernsey and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London where he studied operatic drama/acting singing bass parts.
