YOU CAN TAKE A HORSE TO WATER !
July 21st, 2007I guess you all know my family are all basically in the stunt business, here is a photo of my wife Wendy and my daughter Nina playing around at home with a friend !
Wendy will be off to China in a little while to start setting up the action there ready for my arrival and Nina is working on "National Treasure 2" this weekend in London. My brother Andy lives almost exclusively in LA and does the same thing as I do coordinating stunts and directing although he also writes scripts as well. My Father in Law George Leech was one of the UK's founding fathers of stunts having been in the business since he doubled for James Mason in 1947. My 2 sons Bruce and Scott are busy in the business with Bruce having been with me here and now is off to Berlin on a big car chase picture and Scott is working here doubling Luke Ford from Australia. I also have a nephew James Armstrong
who worked for me on "I AM LEGEND" in New York as well as many other movies and he is a regular double for the lead in "PRISON BREAK" in Texas, he also directs a TV show at weekends in LA where he lives. My other nephew Jesse Johnson also lives in LA and is a stuntman but has been writing & directing a lot recently and is going great guns working his way up the directorial ladder with Pit Fighter (Steven Bauer), Last Sentinel (Katee Sackhoff, Keith David), Alien Agent (Mark Dacascos, Billy Zane), 5th Commandment (Bokeem Woodbine, Keith David), The Butcher (Eric Roberts, Robert Davi, Geoffrey Lewis, Michael Ironside).

Hi there, Just wanted to congratulate you on all the great work you've done. Its really amazing all your family have followed into the business. I'm actually hoping to meet your daughter Nina while she is in England as I have been in contact with Les Maryon who has spoken to her on my behalf – I am trying my best to find out as much as I can about getting into the stunt industry as I have a passion to become a stunt woman! Anyway keep up the good work, I may perhaps meet you some time in the future!

Hello Georgina, thank you for the message, I hope you meet up with Nina and I am sure she will give you lots of advice on joining the stunt business which is a long job, I know because she had to go through it all and say Hi to Les Maryon for me please. Regards Vic X

Hi Vic
Please pass on my regards to Nina. I worked with her at Legoland!
I am interested in getting into the stunt business and was wondering where I could find information about skills and levels required.
