EP15 - STUNTMAN - Andy Pilgrim BONUS EPISODE

Are You Creative?

Special audience questions edition from Essex Podcast Festival.
What’s the coolest stunt Andy has done? A high fall. How high? 100ft!
What’s your favourite movie you’ve done a stunt in? Grimsby was the most fun film to shoot.

What stunt did you do in Harry Potter? Andy was a student as a 30-year old man, and a Death Eater and had to go to Wand School to learn the actions.

Have you ever done a stunt so crazy it made you reconsider your career choice? Andy broke his ankle as a White Walker in the Hardhome scene in Game of Thrones - and it made it into the show.
Have you ever taken any souvenir off the set? Shoot loot! Andy has some Witcher swords.

What’s the longevity of a stunt performer’s career? The job retires you! Older actors need doubles as well, so you can perform as an athletic older person. The career journey and bringing in the next generation.

What’s your number one golden rule for stunts? KEEP EVERYONE SAFE. Make it look cool. Safety comes first.

What stunt are you most proud of? Making other actors look good. Not one in particular. Every day is so different, and the variety makes the job.

Do people ask you for spoilers on productions? YES! All the time. Andy will never tell anything to anyone (except maybe his wife!) #nospoilers
