Andrew Lin, Actor Turned Special Effect Make Up Artist

Film star Andrew Lin Hoi two years ago with Louis Koo Tin Lok and a Mainland partner opened in Beijing the Cinemorph Special Effect Make Up Production company. His hardest to serve client might be his partner Koo Tin Lok. Many knew that Goo Jai was an avid plastic model fan. Lately he rarely talked about his hobby because he has moved on to a new hobby. He wanted Lin Hoi to design an armor and mask according to the IRON MAN blue print purely for his private collection.

The Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho) produced CONTROL (HONG SING GAI) also used Lin Hoi's special effect make up. This film took place in the 40s and 50s. Lead Ng Yin Cho spent most of his time being interrogated in a chair. "This film was pretty difficult. Ng Yin Cho is always getting beat up, from swollen eyes to busted eyes the make up technique had to have layers." Lin Hoi at age 27 came from Taiwan to work in hong Kong. "When I was little I like to draw, now I am a special effect make up artist. When I have a chance I would like to draw with the human body and the face, which is considered an alternative art."
