Filmmaking Confidential

The Enigma, completely tattooed from head to toe in blue jigsaw puzzle pieces, is a legendary performer cultivating audiences for over 20 years around the globe.  A founding member of Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, The Enigma has toured with Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Korn, and opening for David Bowie. His Prime Time television acting debut came in 1995 on the X-files.  His feature film acting debut came in 2005's Firecracker starring opposite screen legend Karen Black and rock star Mike Patton (Faith No More and Mr. Bungle).

Coming from a background of classical piano and stage magic, The Enigma's live show includes the best possible traditional stunts.  Being an innovator of the bizarre, The Enigma also produces stunts none has ever seen.  All of the original music backing the show and the odd humor allow audiences to breathe and adds to The Enigma as an identifiable character. The Enigma has been on the cover of many tattoo magazines, setting the example for extreme body modification.  Featured twice in National Geographic Magazine, 1995 and 2004, The Enigma gets hard news stories about his shows published in advance of his debuts.  The Enigma has not stopped covering new ground, breaking into the comic book arena as well as monster truck rallies and school anti bully lectures.

When you think of extreme, wild, out of this world entertainers, The Enigma stands out as the leader of his art form.  He is an historic legend in body modification, circus sideshow, and tattooing, and leads the pack in that “do it yourself” renaissance style.  As a refined talent of over 20 years in the business you can see that he continues to amaze and inspire.  The Enigma's cult status and huge following will grow organically over the years as he constantly gives to the art world.
