EP 42 | Jack Gill, Stunt Coordinator ('Fast & Furious' Franchise)

Soundstage Access

What a treat to be welcomed in the offices of Stunts Unlimited to chat with Jack Gill, an award-winning stunt coordinator and second unit director whose credits include VENOM, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR and several chapters in the FAST & FURIOUS franchise. In today’s conversation, discuss a wide range of topics: from Jack’s violent beginnings in the stunt industry of the 1970’s, working on TV shows like THE DUKES OF HAZZARD and KNIGHT RIDER, revolutionary at the time for their ground-breaking action—and why he would choose time and time again to return on set despite breaking his neck and his back multiple times; Jack’s relationship with Hal Needham, perhaps the greatest stuntman who ever lived, and their lifelong battle to introduce a new Oscar category for Hollywood’s stunt community; plus, the work that goes into designing some of the wildest car chases in the FAST & FURIOUS movies. All of this... and much more!
