He has played Superman, Indiana Jones, James Bond and host of other well-known action and adventure heroes on the Silver Screen and yet he was not the star of any of the movies. He’s responsible for some of the greatest live action sequences ever filmed and is well-respected and talented director.He is one of the most liked professionals in the film industry and yet most people don’t know his name or can recognize him. And that’s all right with him. He prefers it that way. Directors know that his work is of the highest caliber, actors are confident that he will enhance their performances and the behind-the-scenes craftsmen and technicians appreciate his professionalism and knowledge of the industry.
Who am I talking about? It’s Vic Armstrong and this is his story as recalled and chronicled in Titan Books’ ‘The True Adventures Of The World’s Greatest Stuntman’.
Containing first-hand accounts of his experiences in the stuntman field, director’s chair and stunt coordinator capacity, the book is filled with photos, recollections by fellow stuntmen and the actors, actresses and directors he’s worked with over the last 40+ years.
Steven Spielberg provides a glowing foreword and such notable film stars and directors: Arnold Schwarzeneggger, Christopher Lee, Martin Scorsese, Harrison Ford and many others recall their time spent with Vic.
If you want to see what really goes on behind the camera and discover the tremendous amount of work and sweat that goes into making breath-taking stunt sequences then pick up a copy of Vic’s new book and enjoy every heart-stopping moment.
