cast in solid bronze, using the lost wax process. The statuette has a green-black patina and stands on a base of
polished black granite. The Actor is the work of a team of fine arts professionals. It was sculpted by Edward
Saenz and designed by Jim Heimann and Jim Barrett. The statuette is cast at the American Fine Arts Foundry
under the supervision of Brett Barney.
