David Greathouse

20 films

David Greathouse is known for Ra.One (2011), The Usual Suspects (1995) and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). House is a completely self-taught SFX makeup artist He got his start at just ten years old in his Aunt's costume shop, where she turned him on to special effects makeup. House honed his skills designing and performing in haunted houses. House considers himself very fortunate to have worked as a shop rat in Los Angeles, where he believes he was able to pick the brains and grab some talent of some of the industry's best. His biggest influence, perhaps, is Robert Kurtzman, with whom he currently works at Creature Corps in Ohio. If he wins the show, House plans on producing and directing a feature film.
