Chris, I have no way to "prove" that Haunted Studios recast my casting. I knew the managing director of Ardmore studios (cos I lived in Ireland and I used to write to him asking about summer jobs when I was a kid). In the late 70s I visited the Studios and was shown around, and I saw several tea-crates with these Zardoz masks piled into them. In the 80s the place went bankrupt and I wrote to the guy and asked if he'd pick one of these things up for me as he left. Amazingly, he did - I got two broken halves. I had to take a while repairing the thin plastic faces and joining them together, repaint it, etc. Each mask had slight differences - the original props people cut out the eye holes and nostrils with sharp knives and weren't too careful how they did it, and the faces got distorted a bit when the two sides were originally joined together - when I compare the Haunted Studios cast with my original, these distinguishing details are absolutely identical. I emailed them a couple of times to ask how they got hold of an "original mask", but nobody answered. I'm not making a big thing about it, I was just disappointed to get recast and lose the little bit of money I was making on it.
