Slapstickin' to the script

Buster Keaton spoke volumes without stretching a vocal chord. The Three Stooges thrived from slipping on oil slicks and bonking each others' noggins. Physical humor is an internationally recognized language that requires no translation!

A few weeks back, Deni Jordan of Denmark's The Stunt Group called me in to shoot a comedy sketch with him and his team. Under the shade of the real trees of Beverly Hills, we fought over the affections of the lovely Katie Soo. Without giving too much away (I'll definitely share the video with you all when it's released), let's just say the action gets so wild that I received an unexpected shiner!

Me and Adam, circa 2004
Deni found me through an old friend affiliated with Reelkick, Adam Brix. When we first all got together and trained at All Olympians Gymnastic Center, Adam would come out and stunt with the best of them! Years later, after achieving great success in the Danish entertainment world, he still remembers little old me! That serves to remind: good friendships always pass the test of time!
