Director Steven Murashige has also worked with Prophets Of Rage, Radiohead and, amazingly, Jem. They’ve met in the middle – Chuck’s got younger, Brandon’s got older and they’re at exactly the same point. Interestingly, the older version of Boyd played by his dad doesn’t have stretched ears, and Boyd himself has allowed his to almost close up. It seems strange now, but in 2000 it was a rarity to see stretched earlobes on telly. He also mentions being 23 in the song Promises, Promises, and described himself to Vice as being “kind of obsessive about that number”. Pretty interesting dude, Mike Einziger.īoyd was indeed 23 when he wrote this in 1999. He is a published academic, having co-authored a paper while at Harvard, and has worked with musician turned physicist Professor Brian Cox. He’s also an entrepreneur, founding several tech companies, and a seriously talented musician, composing enormously ambitious avant-garde chamber music. He’s also made an awful lot of money – he co-wrote the late Avicii’s global megahit Wake Me Up, as well as working with big-ass artists like Pharrell Williams, Hans Zimmer, Tyler, The Creator and Skrillex. Guitarist Mike Einziger has had an awful lot of haircuts over the years. (Side note: how was it ever acceptable for a cigarette brand to be called Kool?) He also appears in the videos for A Certain Shade Of Green and Take Me To Your Leader, as well as the covers of Enjoy Incubus and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. One of the sources of the younger Boyd’s matinee-idol good looks, he also modelled for either Salem Cigarettes, Kool Cigarettes or both. He appeared in an episode of Starsky and Hutch, the Chuck Norris film Slaughter In San Francisco, had a tiny role in Predator 2, and reportedly did voiceovers for sex education videos.

Also known as Charles Mulholland, he was an actor, mainly working in the 1970s. He’s fairly shrouded in mystery, and the band have cheerfully spun various ever-conflicting myths about him over the years. This is Incubus’s mascot and kinda-sorta unofficial sixth member, Brandon Boyd’s real-life father, Chuck Boyd. Brandon Boyd appears to be fully clothed.
