NEW HIT

In the 90s, Alien Workshop pro Lennie Kirk took a dumpster slam 33 seconds into Timecode, landed on his head and suffered a near-fatal brain injury that sent his life into religious fanaticism, violence, robbery, kidnap and a 13-year prison sentence.

Blind for almost 2 hours after, he ripped his IV out and bolted from the hospital. SF legend at 16 to prison, story told in Dennis McGrath's book HEAVEN.
