My dad missed out on this by one generation. Our family came over during the Gold Rush, and he wasn't born until after WW2, so, yeah.

Wish I could go. I'm only a stuntman though, no fucking way I'd be brought over any other way than a program like this. =(

    Ha! I'm not a 'big time' stunt guy I got into it a few years ago!

    I literally was acting in a small movie playing ice hockey, and the stunt coordinator was like 'you actually played right?' "Yeah man I played in college" 'Oh cool can I have you take a few big hits?'

    I was like hell yeah lets do it, and he showed me how we could pretend to do big hits instead of actually doing them, and then he was like 'hey you're pretty good at this you should do stunts!' so, I linked up with some stunt people and started learning to do fights and how to fall and all that fun stuff.

    Now, I'm 'in the wings' of one of the bigger action companies (you've definitely seen their movies), so I'm waiting for the call up to get to do their pictures!
