I was pleasntly surprised to get a call the other evening informing me that myself Wendy and all the other stunt performers on "I AM LEGEND" are nominated for a SAG award. This is a new category so it is very exciting and rewarding to get nominated.

The award ceremony is at the end of January so Wendy and I will try and get there, keep your fingers crossed we are up against some tough opposition.
Above is a photo of my great friend Jordi Casares, when the photo was taken we were in China on MI 3. Jordi was recently stunt coordinator on "Charlie Wilson’s War". I have not seen Jordi since my birthday in New York when he flew in as a surprise guest and he is arriving here in the UK from Spain tomorrow along with another great friend Bronco McLoughlin, Bronco was the missionary going over the falls at the start of "The Mission".

Happy and prosperous New Year to you all, I am back in the UK briefly and have just put the Xmas decorations away for another year.
One of the great presents I received was a book titled "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A FALL GUY". The book is written by one of the greatest stuntmen of all time JOE POWELL, this is must reading for anybody with the slightest interest in the film world and or the stunt world.
When I started in the business Joe was a giant and was one of the people I tried to model myself on, he did some of the greatest stunts in an age that did not have the benefit of the modern technology that we have today, it was all achieved with talent, instinct and sheer guts.
I salute him and urge you all to buy and read his book, it is available @ Amazon.com

This is a photo of me sadly leaving the fantastic set of MUMMY 3 on my last night in Shanghai.
