Most people today are familiar with Dr. Trevor “Broom” Bruttenholm thanks to the 2004 and 2008 Hellboy movies starring Ron Perlman and directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Newer fans met the soft-spoken professor in Neil Marshall’s 2019 Hellboy adaptation starring David Harbour. And still others remember Dr. Bruttholm from the Dark Horse Comics. The source that started it all.

Both big screen versions of Dr. Bruttenholm share a certain style. They both like three piece suits and close-cropped goatees. Because of this there are two suits listed above. One in tweed with a more classic look and another with a sleeker, more modern look. The cane is part of the earlier look while the accessories – a leatherbound book, a rosary, and of course the goatee – are shared between both looks.

Al Swearengen is a character in the television series, Deadwood. Based on the historical figure of the same name, Al owns The Gem Saloon, a local saloon and brothel. He acts as a merciless mob boss in relation to the other characters. He is played by Ian McShane. To create gray hairs, use white face paint on a toothbrush and brush through the wig and mustache. You can use black eyeshadow to make the small goatee below his lip.
