Tait Fletcher is an actor, stuntman and former MMA Fighter, known for his roles in Breaking Bad, Westworld, John Wick, and The Mandalorian.

Tait grew up in Michigan where he dealt with childhood trauma by engaging in whatever thrill seeking activity he could get his hands on. Early on he found drinking and fighting as a means to meet his brain’s desire for chaos. 

As he got older he continued to follow his desire for a high intensity life by becoming a professional MMA fighter. Tait eventually found sobriety around the time his professional fighting career was coming to a close, which actually opened the doors to a career as a hollywood stuntman and eventually work as an actor in movies and tv shows. He was suddenly living a life he couldn’t dream of. 

Then in 2021, while filming the movie Free Guy, Tait was struck with a motorcycle while filming a stunt sequence. The accident left him with a significant Traumatic Brain Injury which resulted in endless therapies to try to repair the injuries to his brain. 

Today, Tait is continuing to work in movies and is an inspiration to all those who’ve had to endure so much, but refuse to give up.
