DESCRIPTION: We’re back, baby! It’s time for a new episode of Light the Fuse and this time we’re talking to perhaps the most important guest ever, Kerry Warn, the chief hair stylist for “Mission: Impossible 2.” Yes, this is the man behind the longest, wildest haired Ethan! Warn talks about how it was his suggestion to John Woo to leave Tom Cruise’s hair longer, what it was like working on “Eyes Wide Shut” with Cruise, and a screen test with a wind machine to watch how the hair moved. Just glorious. Released July 22nd, 2022.
