FerroTV Shows
What kid isn’t thrilled while watching an action movie or TV show when the villain gets thrown out of a fifty-story window or violent car chase scene in the Fast and Furious. How about when the gangster gets a beat down by the rival gang?
All those scenes and hundreds more are performed, choreographed, rehearsed and coordinated by the film industry’s stunt personnel and coordinators. In this episode our guest has been in the stunt biz for over thirty years and talks about all he’s done and seen during that time. It’s insane!
So, If you’re a fan of action and always thought you’d love to do it. This episode is for you.
