Pluto was not originally on my list of villains to draw, until the day came that Michael Berryman was announced as a guest for the 2020 Cult Classic Convention. His name may not ring a bell, but his distinctive look sure should. Born born with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, a rare condition characterized by the absence of sweat glands, hair, and fingernails, Mr. Berryman has had one helluva career in films and television, Pluto from the original Wes Craven classic THE HILLS HAVE EYES being one of his earliest roles.
I got the chance to speak with him, and he laughed when I told him I never knew how important eyebrows were until I could NOT draw them. We talked about how he came to be involved with Mötley Crüe, which was because they were fans of HILLS and wanted to work with him. If you ever attend a show that he is at, do yourself the favor and meet him.
