We learn today via social media of the passing of a huge action icon.

CHUCK NORRIS was part of a stunt family. Not just in his films but in his actual family. AARON, and ERIC were both stuntmen who moved into the world of stunt coordination and directing.

A Norris production was always a fun ride according g to those who worked with him. He was alway there to take advice, give it with his huge martial arts experience and be prepared to stand back and let the stunt double take over when it was deemed appropriate, not only for the actor but also for the film.

He will be sorely missed.....thank you for everything you did sir.

One of the greatest days of my life. Getting an opportunity to chat with three remarkable stuntmen in the offices of 'Stunts Unlimited' was an extraordinary highlight to my week in Los Angeles.

Charlie Picerni is without shadow of a doubt one of the best stuntmen/coordinators and 2nd unit directors the business has ever seen.

It was such a thrill to spend some time with him on zoom, as he's not LA based these days, to chat about his thoughts on the business and how it's changed over the years. We touch on a whole bunch of topics and it's a fun listen. Enjoy.

It's hard to believe that it's 25yrs since the creation of the Taurus World Stunt Awards. Here in the UK we saw it on late night TV, 2am in the morning in the graveyard shift. But it harked back to the stuntman awards from the 1980s.

Its still going now, although its a very different animal now, but we should celebrate this remarkable venture.
