There's something that feels more organic about watching a stunt that's done by you. There's also a feeling of accomplishment doing it yourself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's so important for me to do my own stunts. The sense of achievement is so immense. But the studios don't want to take the risk.
Doing stunt work is risky, but it's something I enjoy.
I always end up hurting myself doing something mundane. If I have to do some complicated stunt, I'm fine.
I've definitely become much more aware of physical stunts.
I try to do as many stunts as they'll let me do. I think it's important for an audience to feel that the actor's really doing it.
I don't have muscle tone. I'm just flab. I'm not a daredevil. I don't like pain, I don't like cold, I don't want to feel exhausted. But the sense of accomplishment is something I've never felt before, in a physical sense.
Stunt work offers a diversity of roles and, while I'm used to anonymity, I really like showing off and performing in front of camera, though I know my limitations.
I'm a bit insane when it comes to doing my own stunts and getting down and dirty. It's fun, you know? It's things I wouldn't normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.
The more you do a stunt, the more you increase the risk of something happening.
I look at other filmmakers and see skills in them that I wish I had but I know that I don't. I feel like I have to work really hard to keep myself afloat, doing what I do. But I find it pleasurable.
