Dear Vic.
I am leaving the British Army in about 17 months time. I will be 40 years old on the day that i get out. I am very interested in becoming a stunt man, but i have two questions that i hope you can answer.
1. Will anyone in the industry be interested in hireing a 40 year old.
2. If they are, who or where is the person/place to be trained.
Any help or advice you can give will be very appreciated.
Thank’s very much.
Kevin Daniels.

Paul Grondahl of the Albany Times Union here. I’ve covered lots of movies shot in the Albany area over the past 25 yrs. and am a friend of Phil Caruso, who lives locally and shoots stills for the film industry. He said he’s worked on some movies with you and suggested I contact you. Could I interview you about being stunt coordinator of “Salt” while you’re still in Albany? Let me know. Thanks. Paul Grondahl

Hi Kevin, you would be employed as a 40 year old no problem but firstly you must join the stunt register for details write to Equity, Guild House, Upper St Martins Lane, WC2H 9EG when you have passed the skills they will advise you on and have joined you must have one skill that puts you above anybody else and whatever category you are good at and use that skill as your calling card. It is a long process and difficult but people do join and get work. Good luck, Regards Vic
