Kenneth Calhoun

Kenneth’s love of Special FX and makeup started at a very early age. Growing up, he loved the creations of Ray Harryhausen and Toho giant monster movies. At 14, he was inspired by a show at Universal Studios to take his love of creatures and makeup seriously by starting to become a special fx makeup artist. He studied and practiced constantly. He would watch Stan Winston School DVDs to the point where he could recite the whole lesson word for word. After winning a local makeup fx competition, he started doing makeup for independent films in his native Washington State.

At the age of 22, Kenneth moved to Los Angeles, getting his professional start working at Legacy Effects. Hired to make the prosthetic transfers for “Terminator Genisys”, he started out working in the foam and silicone department under Cory Czekaj, where he was given the name “Super Ken”. During that time he also had the chance to work on “Jurassic World” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron”.

Kenneth’s work can also be seen in the films “The Shape of Water”, “Captain Marvel”, “X- Men: Dark Phoenix”, “The Revenant”, and “Goosebumps 2”, and television shows “Young Sheldon”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, and “The Mandalorian”, to name a few.
