On June 29, the world lost someone very special. The film industry brought Jim Hayes to Shreveport, but his love of our little town is what kept him here—along with his wife, Christine, and son, Walker. Jim was many things, but first and foremost, he was an artist. Whether building props for movies ranging from Austin Powers to Mulholland Drive, painting his signature flames down the side of a hot rod, or creating interesting environments at local businesses like Abby Singer’s Bistro and Twisted Root Burger Company, Jim literally left his mark on Shreveport.
After the recording of Jim and Christine’s Exit Interview, Jim stuck around afterward to share the story of how a car gig for Johnny Depp secretly went totally wrong. We’re glad to finally have it out in the world today.
See Jim at work in episode 2 of Moviesauce‘s series “Faces” below:
Thank you, Jim. We loved you, your stories, and your family, and we can only imagine what adventures you’re having, now that you’ve joined the Starman in the sky.
