As an actor, Michael Horton appeared in dozens of TV shows and movies across a career that spanned four decades -- from "M*A*S*H" to "Hill Street Blues" to "Star Trek: Voyager." But in recent years he has devoted himself to helping Hollywood's behind-the-scenes professionals, facilitating a recurring "meetup" in which editors, set designers, make-up artists, and others share tips and simply get to know each other. In this excerpt from our forthcoming interview with Horton, he talks about the importance of these crucial storytellers to the making of movies, TV shows -- and even commercials. #hollywood #hollywoodstories #moviestories #moviemagic #moviemaking #moviemakers #acting #editing #finalcutpro #makeupartists #setdesigners #hollywoodstrike #hillstreetblues #mash #startrekactors #startrekvoyager #murdershewrote #columbo #IATSE #AMPTP #filmeditors #filmproducers #stories #storytelling #storytellers
