Update #1: BRIAN STEELE (Hellboy 2, Predators)
Today we added an integral interview to our MEN IN SUITS roster. Brian Steele... the man who brought newest, meanest Predator to life in this summer's PREDATORS as well as werewolves in the UNDERWORLD films and Mr. Wink in HELLBOY 2.
Brian's nickname is 'Creature Boy' and if you look at his IMDB page you'll see why.

Brian started his career playing Frankenstein's monster on the Universal Studios tour. While there he had the good fortune to meet the late, great Kevin Peter Hall (the suit actor who made Predator the badass hunter from outer-space we all know and love). Kevin was playing Harry from HARRY & THE HENDERSONS at the time and Brian was tapped to play Harry on the Universal tour. Sadly, Kevin passed away soon after and Brian had the honor of taking on the role of Harry in the HARRY & THE HENDERSONS TV series.
This year life came full circle and Brian was finally able to play the Predator in PREDATORS.
Brian walked us through how he physically prepares for each creature he plays. One of his mantras is "make the pain familiar". To find out what that means, watch for MEN IN SUITS in the Fall of 2011!

Wyrd specializes in making documentary and essay films about the fantastic genres: science fiction, horror and fantasy.
The production company was formed in 2007 by William Janczewski, James B. Myers and Frank H. Woodward.
Prior to Wyrd, Woodward and Myers produced DVD featurettes for Anchor Bay Entertainment (including "Masters of Horror" Season One).
Woodward went on to write the SyFy Channel movie "Black Forest" which is currently in production.
Myers spends most of his spare time as an 80th level Troll Deathknight.
Janczewski was the CEO and acclaimed creative director of Unbound Studios whose work in animation and interactive games earned awards for clients such as Disney, Fox, Nickelodeon and Mattel.
Wyrd’s premiere documentary was LOVECRAFT: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, a chronicle of author H.P. Lovecraft's the life, work and mind. The film featured interviews with Peter Straub, Neil Gaiman, Guillermo Del Toro, and John Carpenter.
LOVECRAFT premiered at the 2008 Comic-Con in San Diego where it won Best Documentary Film. It went on to screen at festivals in Montreal, Buenos Aires, Port Alegre-Brazil, Park City, Portland and Los Angeles. LOVECRAFT is currently available on DVD & Blu-Ray.
Wyrd's second release is THE SPLAT PACK. This film looks back at the first decade of 21st Century horror movies and the filmmakers who were dubbed "The Splat Pack" (including Eli Roth, Darren Lynn Bousman, Neil Marshall and Alexandre Aja).
Wyrd is currently in production on two new documentary films including MEN IN SUITS and a look inside the counter culture of steampunk.
