Watch: ‘The Hands of Hollywood’ Chronicles the World’s Most Famous Manual Movie Extra

Why Watch? Someone had to play the hands of Bill Bixby just before turning into The Hulk.

That man was Steve Hershon, a remarkably prolific hand insert model. This documentary is joyous in its trivia and complete in how cool and unexpected finding a Hollywood career can be. It’s also bittersweet, showing how fragile a perfect set up can be.

Watch as, like all things, Hershon’s hand job comes to an end.

What will it cost? Only 8 minutes.
