<p><i>David Beneke grew up in Casper dreaming of one day being part of the scary movies he enjoyed as a kid. Now, as a Hollywood movie makeup artist living in Hollywood, he does just that. Beneke specializes in eyes and teeth for movie monters. He has created vampires, werewolves, zombies and a multitude of other creatures for films. He worked with Kevin Costner in "Dances with Wolves," Steven Spielberg in "Jurassic Park," made Kate Beckinsale's fangs in "Underworld" and even did a fix-up job on Kix Brooks for the "Rock My World (Little Country Country Girl)" music video.</i>
"Never believe you are stupid. Never believe you can't. Never believe you have nothing to offer; everyone has a special gift. Face your fears. If you have a job you love, everyday is a vacation. Therefore, do the career you want to do most, regardless of the monetary value. If you give it your very best and a chance to succeed, odds are it will succeed. If it doesn't, you can never say you didn't try and regret not doing it later in life. Remember, fortune favors the bold and success is rarely easy. It takes hard work and time. Live, just don't exist!"
