Yeah, I'm like, moving to LA, I'm going to be a stuntman. And then, of course, nothing in this business is easy, and so I moved into a house in Redondo Beach. There were six of us that... We're all trying to be stunt people. I mean, this is a show in its own right. So we dug a trampoline in the backyard without telling our landlord. We bought our pads. We bought an airbag.

This is a great one. So I'm thinking the training ground for stunt performers is the live show, right? And so I hadn't even done a movie yet or a TV show, but I was trying out for the Batman. live show at Magic Mountain. I was, by the way, trying out. I wasn't even the guy. To play Batman?

I was like swinging from... The car goes under this catwalk. I grab the bar and I'm supposed to do a back... Well, I'm not supposed to do a backflip, but I'm going to show everybody how I'm going to do a backflip. Oh my God. Yeah. Famous last words, hold my beer. Right. And then I was like... I completely under-rotate it, put my wrist down, and I shatter it in four places. Oh, my God.

Wow, wow, wow. I'm like, surgery, you know, I have a big halo on my wrist, and, you know. And it's super embarrassing because, again, I'm not even a stuntman yet. I am just, like, the beginning of my career trying to break into this business.
