Rob Lowe as Dr. Startz in "Behind the Candleabra".
Lowe portrayed a NYC transplant doctor who had "hit the Hollywood scene pretty hard for some years".
The real Dr. Startz eventually killed himself.
Lowe said they'd aggressively taped his face up and put a wig on top, but got the weirdest results when he also tried to close his eyes --made him look SUPER WEIRD (which was the idea).
