The Shape of Things Today

Standard

When I was preparing for my role as Liam in the play Calendar Girls, the costume designer was taking my measurements.  She was very thorough, although she only needed my upper body as I could just where pants I already owned.  I leaned over and took this picture of her notes.  This is what I’m starting from.

To add to this, my leg length is 28″.  I look a bit like Bam Bam from the Flintstones.  To be realistic, I don’t think I can change that part unless I go all Gattaca.

Here are some great examples of what I have issue with:

My sunken ski slope chest with protruding basketball stomach and chin-neck (with Darth Vader at FanEXPO 2017)

One head tilt moves my entire cheek-neck over my shoulder.  Definitely more of a Elwood Blues thing going on.

I feel like I dominate the picture here.  The lines on the jacket and the wide pants show the shape of an unhealthy guy.  Note, I don’t actually drink much, especially hard liquor.  (Shooting a promotional video as Derek Spencer in Casting For Murder, Georgetown Little Theatre)
