Episode Synopsis
Today I’m joined by veteran Stunt Man, Andy Dylan! Having had years of experience in the industry as both a Stunt Coordinator and Professional Stunt Man, Andy is one of the most trusted guests on giving advice to aspiring performers. In this episode, we discuss the journey Andy has been on throughout his career, how the stunt industry has changed over the years, and what skill sets are important for an artist to have outside of strength and athletics. We also talk about the contrast between the acting side of the entertainment industry as opposed to stunt performing. There are many key technical steps that can be taken from each facet of the filmmaking process and Andy gives some wonderful insights on these.
