Even the teachers at Hollywood Arts were defined by their style. Erwin Sikowitz, the school’s eccentric drama teacher, had a penchant for baggy clothes, clashing patterns, plaid scarves, and mala beads. His long hair and love of expired coconut milk (which he claimed gave him visions) fed into his new age hippie look. Sikowitz was known for his eyebrow raising methodology when it came to acting, and his style was no outlier. Sometimes without shoes, but always with an interesting outfit, his style was a mixture of homeless and spent-a-year-meditating-in-Cambodia. Sikowitz’s fashion helped to develop his characters role as comic relief and make every storyline he was involved with more ridiculous.
