Appearance for theater and film actors is of great importance. People come to the cinema to get positive emotions. But there are also viewers who want a thrill. Actor Michael Berryman cannot be called handsome in any way.
Difficult childhood
Once upon a time in the ancient Greek city of Sparta there was a custom to throw newborn children with a physical defect into the abyss. The procedure was carried out according to the law adopted by King Lycurgus. The famous American actor Michael Berryman was born on September 4, 1948 in an intelligent family. The parents lived in Los Angeles and worked in the field of neurosurgery. From the first days of life, a rare disease was found in the child, which was transmitted to him at the genetic level.
Outwardly, this disease manifested itself in the absence of nails, hair and teeth. In any other country, the boy would not have lived for several weeks. Mother and father made every effort, used all available opportunities to keep Michael alive and continue to develop normally. An extraordinary appearance brought him many unpleasant experiences. Berryman steadfastly endured the aggressive attitude of those around him. Having received his secondary education at school, he decided that this would be enough for him.
The path to the profession
At an early age, Michael was protected and protected from the effects of the external environment. At the same time, they were brought up according to the existing rules, prepared for an independent life. After school, the young man found himself a job as a flower seller. It was here, behind a counter with bouquets, that he was discovered by an assistant to a famous director. Another horror movie was launched, and Berryman's appearance fully corresponded to the requirements of the script. The guy had to persuade him for a long time to come to the casting.
Michael played his debut role in the adventure film Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze. The picture was released in 1975, when the actor turned twenty-seven years old. At first, Berryman experienced some difficulty and constraint in communicating with colleagues on the set. Over time, this problem, as they say, resolved. And the textured performer began to be invited to the roles of villains, vampires, maniacs and other evil spirits.
Personal life scenario
Berryman's choice for creativity was not very wide. At the very beginning of his career, he starred in the cult film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The picture received prizes and awards at various competitions and festivals in almost all nominations. The novice actor was also noted with an award. Michael already then realized that it was not worth running from one director to another. Although sometimes you have to do it.
The personal life of a screen zombie and a vampire has developed successfully. At one point, he met his love named Patricia. Husband and wife have lived under the same roof in Los Angeles for many years. The spouses have no children.
