Special effects man born to boom in Texas town

Ken Speed, 45, makes a living as an effects coordinator for Walker Texas Ranger under Chuck Norris. He uses precise explosive techniques to blow up buildings and cars without harming surroundings, a skill honed after years in film studios and lessons from Disney and Warner Brothers. Speed has staged numerous explosions from mobile homes to airports, insisting the work is a surgical art with controlled safety. He cites careful planning, color and smoke effects, and the risk of occasional window debris, while noting a flawless safety record per Farmers Branch Fire Chief Kyle King.
