Stunt School

September 13th, 2007, filed by Chad Ruble

Veteran stuntman Teel James Glenn is an expert at falling down stairs. He should be. He’s been doing dangerous stunts for thirty years. I, on the other hand, have only falled down a few sets of stairs. So I asked him to be my stunt double.

I could have sworn his voice went up a few octaves when he sqeezed into my tracksuit. 
The joke was supposed to be that the six foot four inch giant was so obviously not me. 
But, thanks to the magic of editing. You can hardly tell the difference. 
But, when you watch the whole clip, you can see just how ridiculous he looks and feels wearing my clothes. And yes, I was in my boxers for most of the shoot.
