Gary Powell - Stunt Co-ordinator for Casino Royale




Gary Powell was born and raised in a 'stunt' family. His father, brother and uncle are all very successful stunt men, so it was only natural ( and expected) for Gary to follow in their footsteps. He performed his first stunt at the mere age of 11 in one of the Carry On films. After that, there was no stopping him.

Since joining the British Stunt Register, Gary has worked on some of the biggest films ever made. These involved performing and arranging some of the most dynamic stunts that have been seen on screen, for example, the barrel roll with the power boat in the opening sequence of The World Is Not Enough and the tank chase in GoldenEye.

The knowledge Gary has gathered from the numerous films to his credit is vast. His expertise in stunts, wire work and blue screen/CGI comes from working on all manner of productions from period pieces to futuristic features. Gary always gets the best out of the Artists and fellow performers, so that not only does the stunt look spectacular, but is performed with optimum safety.
