Yet another upcoming interview, guys! Get some questions in!
Scott Mactavish--Goomba/Stunts
Here's a description provided by Scott himself:
Regarding the scenes, I was a lizard head Goomba and was in most scenes with the lizard heads, including the elevator, ice tunnel, and at the end when Hopper gets zapped. I also had non-Goomba roles where SFX were used. For example, there's an early scene where a cop shoots a flamethrower at the Mario Brothers. That would be me. I also did some stunts in the prison scenes but you can't see me too well.
And an excerpt from our interview with Mark Miller and Mike Harding where they speak of him and his duties:
He was a Goomba wrangler--our costumes required a great deal of assistance and they were-they were kept by a full-length, heavy, heavy wool floor-length coat. And so, we were shooting in late summer and it got incredibly hot in there and it became necessary for people to look out for our well-being and in fact the guys at M-E-L designed a fan-system to the inside of the costume, but it was very ineffective. But Scott helped us out a lot and I think he may have suited up once or twice to be in the background but any time-Any action-scene where a Goomba actually had to do something it was one of us four guys.
Please submit questions until otherwise stated.
