You know, I had many conversations on the set of Fall Guy with Ryan about that because you're standing on the ledge and ultimately a lot of stunt work is trusting your team. Now, we had an incredible what we call rigging team on the Fall Guy. Keir Beck is an Australian stunt performer and I've known him since the Matrix years. He's now become one of the... legendary stunt riggers in the business.

And you're hooked up to this machine and you're trusting the physics of it and you've rehearsed it and you've seen the weight bags go down and up. But again, you're stepping off the ledge and you have to have this ability to calm your nerves. trust in the process, have the confidence that, you know, we've tested this over and over and it's going to go great.

And so you do find a little bit of a meditative state and really just focusing on performance. That's how I do it. It's not unlike an athlete, you know, at the starting line, you really have to focus on the first step and then your body takes over. And I think you wait, you hear that cue action and you go.

See, Terry, I knew you were going to ask these hard questions. No, I think absolutely as a stunt performer, when you move into being a stunt coordinator, it's harder because you have your friends that are doing the stunts and you're designing them and you are responsible for their safety. And so... Yeah, it's harder to see how someone else do it than it is yourself, you know.

And especially with my experience of them doing them so long, it's easier for me to do it and feel comfortable than to watch somebody else sometimes. Your heart goes through your chest, so...

I didn't know it until we were now having this negotiation about the first stunt and we had been designing it and rehearsing it. You know, that Kier Beck, that stunt rigger, we had actually simulated the high fall in a parking lot. We had a construction crane. We had built the same rig that we were going to be flying inside of that building. And we were rehearsing it at different heights.
