I must have gotten the two characters mixed up at some point because of their scars (and having found the entry again, I have no clue where I got "Vietnam" from): Boggs from Ceremonies of Light and Dark, played by Don Stroud.
> Don Stroud got his scar by jumping into a crowd of men with knives to stop a woman from being raped, according to former story editor Larry DiTillio.
> [..]
> Boggs' scar wouldn't have moved like it did.
> The physical dynamics of the scar would have worked as seen, actually, mainly because that wasn't a piece of makeup, that's a real scar, and it does work that way.
> The scar is real. He had some rough times a few years ago. (Actually, he also appeared with the scar as it's seen here in "TKO," as Garibaldi's corner man, though there it was hidden a bit.) He's still doing a lot of work though.
> (The funny thing was seeing the occasional comment on the nets saying how fake they thought the makeup looked, and why couldn't we manage to do something a bit more realistic looking?)
