As a computer graphics student, I can almost guarantee you that the image is composited. Look closely at the pistol, the lighting on it is much to flat, the shadows don't match the studio set's lighting. Plus, the surface of the pistol is not affecting light in the way that it should, ie, if that was a chrome-plated revolver, the light play on it would be entirely different. The driop-shadow on Regis' face isn't too bad, but then again, something like that is easy to fake. However, the shadow should be much more diffuse, it shouldn't be so obvious, stages for television use a large number of overhead lights, which generally makes it very difficult to make out shadows.
This is an admirable attempt, but it is still a fake.
