In episode 4 of '1923,' the foreman Zane undergoes risky surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. The realism of the surgery scene is greatly attributed to Jason Hamer, a two-time Emmy winning special effects artist, who crafted an extremely lifelike replica of Geraghty's head. Geraghty expressed his amazement at the realistic representation and the supportive environment among the cast, including legends like Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. The commitment to authenticity in the portrayal of medical procedures adds depth to the show's dramatic narrative.
It's wild. Jason Hamer, the special effects guy, was able to make a whole replica head that was so weirdly and uncannily me.
When a Hollywood crew needs prosthetics, Hamer is one of the best around, having worked on Strange Things and Killers of the Flower Moon.
Everyone from the cast and the crew to Harrison and Helen said it was one of the greatest head doubles they've ever seen.
Geraghty revealed he was having a great time riding horses and shooting bad guys when the caveat of skull surgery was introduced.
