Background

Eric is an open and talkative individual. He’s always open and willing to share about his life as a stunt double. This is his story:

Work Life

Eric has been Steve Carell’s main stunt double for over 18 years, since his film Dan in Real Life. He commented that the recent film about stunt doubles, The Fall Guy, really rang true to him. He had a lot of his friends and colleagues work on that show as well.

He travels a lot for work and was out in Puerto Rico filming the new Netflix series, Four Seasons. He loves his work and talked about how easy going, especially Steve Carell, has been. Although this was first time he was going to be his double in a scene with his shirt off, so he spent a lot of time with Steve in the gym to make sure they looked similar enough to be passable.

His Perspective

His perspective is just to grab life by the horns and take advantage of the opportunities you get. He loves life and loves being outgoing and social and being with people. He does miss his wife, who works as an OBGYN and rarely makes it out on to his sets.

Yet for the most part, living in LA and seeing so much of the world on movie sets, he feels he lives a full life, that is enviable to many. But his humility in his work is easily seen as he will start a conversation with just about anyone.
