It’s a funny thing that one can potentially be a fan of Bill Skarsgård without actually knowing what he looks like. After all, two of his most famous roles – Pennywise in the IT franchise and Count Orlok in Nosferatu – have him featured in heavy makeup and prosthetics that make him utterly unrecognizable. He has delivered remarkable performances when his appearance is wholly transformed… but how does his preparation compare for a film like Gun Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire, which sees him undergo a much more subtle change in his look?
