Thetis was a sea nymph, one of the Nereids, daughter of Nereus (the god of the sea) and Doris. She was fated to bear a son who would be mightier than his father. Fearing for his dominion, Zeus gave Thetis as bride to a mortal, Peleus. Him she bore the son Achilles, whom she tried unsuccessfully to make immortal. The mostly known version of that is, that she dipped the child in the river Styx holding him by the heel; all the parts that the river touched became invulnerable, but the heel. Achilleus fate was to live happy with his family and die unknown or be to become a great hero. He decided to fight and die heroic at Troy.

Either he loves his job, or he has to pay his bills, and judging by his expression, I'm guessing he's definitely not loving his job right now. Lol he's probably just an extra too! Great work, sad but (sadistically) also quite funny at the same time.

I have actually been on both sides of this. As a makeup artist putting people inot the costumes , or as a performer having to endure what this poor soul in you picture is doing. You captured it dead on
