Verne Langdon
Verne Langdon's never-ending quest for perfection has afforded him successful pursuits as a makeup artist, radio personality, voice-over artist, writer, producer, actor, makeup artist, mask maker, professional wrestler, puppeteer, magician, comic, musician, singer and songwriter, with no less than a dozen albums to his credit. Whether performing romantic abstract excursions on keyboards or interpreting his own often melancholy lyrics, his gentle artistry is a never-ending expedition into the romantic corners of his fertile and most remarkable Imagination. His life and career can best be described as varied; Verne Langdon is, truly, a Renaissance man.
