No, it's not the title of a new movie. He's a Parkour/Freestyle specialist whose videos I have been watching since they first came out on YouTube. What I didn't realize until today was that his YT videos got him gigs as a movie stuntman/stuntdouble in some recent and even decent films.

Here's what I read:

As a joke he put a video on youtube and instantly because famous. He is now a movie stunt man. Appeared in these films:

47 Ronin (stunt double)
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (stunt double)
Captain America: The First Avenger (aerial double)
Blitz (stunt double)
I Am Number Four (stunt double)
The Eagle (stunt performer)
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (stunts)
Kick-Ass (assistant fight coordinator, stunt double)
Ninja Assassin (stunt double)
Hellboy II: The Golden Army(tumbling double)

Some people in here probably knew this already, and I've seen these videos posted elsewhere in the forums, but I searched and didn't even see him mentioned in this film section, so I thought I'd share in the context of him actually being in films because of his skills.

Dammit. Mis-spelled his first name in the original post, and I can't edit it. Can a mod please change it, in case anyone does a search for his name too?

I like stories like this. I dont know the guy but I assume he posted the videos as a way to show off a little bit and he gets a career out of doing stuff he loves to do.

Pretty awesome.
