Having administered the forearm appliances, Bob now slips on those terrifying tootsies.

Ted is now very thrilled at the prospect of a day's shooting on the (literally) hot set. After six hours of makeup, he'll spend the next eight hours performing. Most of Ted's scenes take place during a heat wave (105 degrees outdoors, a brisk 90 on set), so he must endure extreme discomfort. Despite this, his enthusiasm and positive spirit prevail. He comes through like a champ. Take a bow, Teddy.

See the before ...and after. The final torture touches I gave Ted were dentures and white scelral contact lenses. After his brother Sam tosses him down a few flights of stairs and sends Bruce Campbell after him with a chainsaw, Ted will wish he'd never gotten out of the makeup chair.
