Stunt Driving with Jeremy Fry
Summer is here and so is the season for summer action blockbuster movies from Hollywood. Every year, when summer comes, we highly anticipate what action movies will come out to the theaters, but what we don’t take into consideration is who will be doing the movie stunt driving for the film? We always talk about what actors and actresses are playing in the film. We might even discuss who the director is, but rarely does anyone discuss the stunt actor or driver.
The most notable movie stunt driving is done by one man that if mentioned in conversation, no one would even recognize the name. But if you mentioned some of the Hollywood feature films he’s driven for, you would realize that this man is almost a legend in the movie stunt driving arena and this man’s name is Jeremy Fry.
Though not a lot of personal information is known about Jeremy Fry, we do know that he has won two World Stunt Awards, two years in a row for his work done in The Bourne Ultimatum in 2008 and for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest in 2007. Both notable films for their action sequences.
Some of his more famous works have been The Race to Witch Mountain, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Get Smart, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and National Treasure: Book of Secrets, to name a few. Not only is Jeremy Fry working in the movie stunt driving genre, he also works as a stunt double for actors and also does the stunt coordination in other films and many television shows. He done stunt work for the television shows Alias, Boston Public, The O.C., Heroes. One other popular television show he consults on is Fear Factor.
Jeremy Fry’s work in movie stunt driving and stunt work is incredibly important. Without his expertise and input, many people’s lives could be in grave danger, but with his help and coordination, not only are actors and crews safe, but the crowds are highly entertained during their action packed blockbuster film. At the next awards ceremony, make sure to think of Jeremy and all his hard work.
