Bruce Spaulding Fuller

Fueled by comic books, monster magazines, and creature features from a young age, Bruce longed to be a mad doctor just like Dr. Frankenstein, giving life to monsters in his laboratory.

His early education in the craft primarily consisted of poring over magazines like Famous Monsters of Filmland, Starlog, and Fangoria. Within those pages, secrets were shared, and Bruce discovered that monsters were made on Hollywood soundstages by makeup pioneers & monster makers extraordinaire, including Lon Chaney, Jack Pierce, and Dick Smith.

Perseverance and hard work honing his skills on his own finally paid off when he finally met his first professional makeup effects artist, Edward French, who graciously hired him as an assistant on a few of his projects. Shortly thereafter, John Caglione and Doug Drexler brought Bruce along with them to California to work on the Oscar-winning character makeups of Dick Tracy.

Since then, Bruce has had the great fortune to work on a multitude of Hollywood blockbusters, sharing his formidable skills with many of the leading FX studios in the industry, including Stan Winston Studio, Legacy Effects, Spectral Motion, Tatopoulos Studios, Rick Baker’s Cinovation Studios, ADI, Alterian Studios, and KNB EFX.

During his 30+ career, Bruce has been proud to contribute his artistry to countless projects, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Orville, Us, Captain Marvel, Thor, American Horror Story, Avengers: Infinity War, Bright, Star Trek: Discovery, The Shape of Water, the Underworld franchise, Resident Evil: Extinction, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Army of Darkness, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Predator 2, just to name just a few.
