 SEASON 2, EPISODE 6 MASTER OF DISGUISE While supplying antique props for a movie set, Micki falls for the handsome enigmatic star of the film, William Pratt (John Bolger). With jealousy fueling his suspicions, Ryan warns Micki against getting involved with the star, reminding her that there have been many mysterious 'accidents' on the sets of all of his movies. Ignoring his advice, Micki follows her heart and becomes intimately involved with the actor. Pratt's sudden rise to movie stardom is a mystery to fans and critics, with good reason. The truth is, he is really Jeff Amory, an ugly and deformed horror movie actor who has been obsessed with a beautiful red-haired actress. But when he discovered her in a remote hideaway with another man, he killed the lover in a jealous rage and caused the terrified actress to fall from a cliff. Although Amory was later committed to an insane asylum, he managed to escape, and purchased an antique make-up case from Uncle Lewis which was formerly owned by John Wilkes Booth. Now, as William Pratt, his theatrical make-up must have an essential ingredient to protect his secret identity: the blood of murder victims. CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
