Appearance for theater and film actors is of great importance. People come to the cinema to get positive emotions. But there are those viewers who want a thrill. Actor Michael Barryman can not be called handsome.
Hard childhood
Once upon a time, in the ancient Greek city of Sparta, it was customary to throw newborn children with a physical defect into the abyss. The procedure was carried out according to the law adopted by King Lycurgus. The famous American actor Michael Berriman was born on September 4, 1948 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in Los Angeles and worked in the field of neurosurgery. From the first days of life, a child had a rare disease that was transmitted to him at the genetic level.
Outwardly, this disease manifested itself in the absence of nails, hair and teeth. In any other country, the boy would not have lived for several weeks. Mother and father did their best, used all available opportunities, so that Michael remained alive and continued to develop normally. His extraordinary appearance brought him many unpleasant experiences. Berriman endured the aggressive attitude of others to himself. Having received secondary education at school, he decided that this would be enough for him.
The path to the profession
At an early age, Michael was guarded and protected from the effects of the external environment. At the same time, they were brought up according to existing rules, prepared for an independent life. After school, the young man found a job as a seller of flowers. It was here, behind the counter with bouquets, he was discovered by an assistant to a famous director. The next horror film was launched, and the appearance of Berriman was fully consistent with the requirements of the script. The guy had a long time to persuade him to come to the casting.
Michael played his debut role in the adventure film "Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze." The picture was released in 1975, when the actor turned twenty-seven years old. At first, Berriman had some difficulties and constraints in communicating with colleagues on the set. Over time, this problem, as they say, resolved. A textured artist began to be invited to the roles of villains, vampires, maniacs and other evil spirits.
