Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Vic Armstrong has worked in motion pictures for over thirty years, as a world-renowned Stuntman, Stunt Coordinator and Director. His resume reads like a "who's who" of film history, including some of the most popular films of all time. Following his stunt debut as an accomplished horse rider, doubling Gregory Peck in Stanley Donen's "Arabesque," Vic went on to work as stunt performer in countless movies, commercials and television shows in and around Europe. His earliest work included stunts on the "Peter Cook and Dudley Moore Show," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," and some of the classic James Bond films, such as "Live and Let Die," "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "You Only Live Twice." His reputation for precision and talent with the most complicated of stunts, earned him the opportunity to become a Stunt Coordinator, beginning with his work on the 1968 British film, "Figures In The Landscape," for Joe Losey, and continuing with epics such as "A Bridge Too Far," "Young Winston," and the first two "Superman" films, in which he also doubled Christopher Reeve. His skill made him a popular double for several other leading men, including Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland, Timothy Dalton, George C. Scott, Malcolm McDowell, Roger Moore, Richard Chamberlain, George Lazenby, Ryan O'Neal, and Jon Voight. His resemblance to and friendship with Harrison Ford, established on the film, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," merited Vic the opportunity to double Ford and Stunt Coordinate throughout the "Indiana Jones" film series, making Vic (along with George Lucas) one of only two creative members to work on all three segments of the film's trilogy, plus all three seasons of the "Young Indiana Jones" TV series.
