- This stalwart makeup artist is one of the many hardworking people from New Zealand who have benefited from Peter Jackson's meteoric efforts to make the country a cinematic powerhouse. Starting with Jackson's first foray into true drama, Foot was there as a prosthetics technician for the effects house Weta as it worked on "Heavenly Creatures." Foot's association with Weta continued doing home-grown effects for the popular Hercules television show, but his real claim to fame was at having his hand on someone's foot - namely that of Sean Astin - as that actor's prosthetic worker who was charged with putting Hobbit feet on. The joke was an amusing one: Sean Foot put feet on Sean Astin. Though he was visibly tired of this joke by the time Foot's behind-the-scenes footage was taped for the DVD of "Fellowship of the Ring," this hardworking makeup artist surely will be remembered as having stood a head above the rest.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Matthew J.
