Craig "Rhino" Hanson: Electrican & Grip

Electrician, Grip and 22 year veteran of Local 490, Craig "Rhino" Hanson passed away at the young age of 62. There was a celebration of his life at Cinequipt, on 12/31/18 from 1-4pm. The film community of MN is all very saddened by this loss. "Rhino" had an intelligent, strong but sweet demeanor and will be missed greatly.

Craig was often one of the strongest crew on set. His nickname “Rhino” was given to him because of his infamous muscle and his quiet personality. He was well known to be able to hoist an 18K onto the stand by himself or to be able to break a gobo head with his tight grip. Craig was also one of the longest working electricians in town. His first MN feature film credit was shot in the early 1980’s -“Harold of Orange”. His most recent film where he was on the electrical crew starred Woody Harrelson in, “Wilson”. Craig Hanson over his career has done many commercials, movies and TV work. His last union gig was likely American Ninja Warrior that shot at US Bank Stadium in June of 2018.
