- Steven Fink started out early in pursuit of a career in the movies; inspired by classic fantasy and sci-fi films such as The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) and later Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). By age 10, he was making his own movies and experimenting with prosthetic makeups. Steven's professional career in special effects makeup and propmaking began at the latter part of 1986 while still attending high school as a senior. The production was a local low-budget film called Clownhouse (1989); the ill-fated suspense thriller directed by convicted child-molester Victor Salva. After that production wrapped, Steven moved onto another local production in the San Francisco bay area, the new Gumby Adventures (1988). He was able to further develop his skills as a designer, sculptor and moldmaker; working on 99 episodes for the original Gumby creator, Art Clokey. Fink eventually moved to Southern California to work for the best names in the makeup effects industry such as Rick Baker, Stan Winston, Rob Bottin, Craig Reardon, Steve Johnson and others. In the late 1990s, Steven became a regular staff member of Optic Nerve Studios and eventually effects coordinator for multiple shows, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) and Angel (1999). In fact, Steven shares a crew EMMY award with Optic Nerve Studios for an episode of the The X-Files (1993) in 1998 for outstanding makeup.
After enjoying a successful career spanning 17 years and over 60 movies and television shows, Steven Fink officially retired from the film industry in 2003 to pursue private projects and a family life.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Steven Fink
