On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we've brought back Larry Zanoff! Larry is most well known for his work as a prop armorer for Independent Studio Services (ISS) - a full-service prop house that has a massive inventory of both inert and blank-firing prop guns used in all sorts of blockbuster movies as well as many smaller films and TV shows. Today, Larry shares some great stories and neat facts with us from his time behind the scenes in Hollywood as a prop armorer like his first ever movie he worked on with ISS, some of his favorite gun's he's customized for various TV shows, and movies, as well as some of the smaller projects he works on. He also shares with us some of the struggles that he's had working with various directors and writers who may not have a complete grasp on realistic uses or applications of firearms, and how he's seen a trend in the film industry that is starting to move the needle towards realistic depictions, rather than bombastic representations or cheap stand-ins. Towards the end of this episode, Larry also shares some thoughts on the "Rust Incident" that happened a while back and where he thinks things could have gone differently.
If you want to hear some more stories from Larry's various projects he's worked on with ISS you can check out TFBTV's interviews with Larry below:
