Do you know if Charlie does all the fighting/flipping/parkour/stunts?
he has a stunt double named Chris Brewster, but i’ll just quote one of his interviews:
“How intensive was the fight training, and how much were you allowed to do, because there are some very brutal, impressive maneuvers on display.”
“It was great — I love all that stuff. I said to them over and over again to let me do as much as much as I’m allowed to do, and they were very generous and they let me do a lot. I did as much training as I could and got as comfortable as I could with the sequences. Obviously, the difficulty [was], I didn’t have much time to learn the sequences because I’m often filming other things, so I would have to learn them in the morning of the day we were shooting or on the day of, so I could never really learn an entire fight sequence. What I could do was learn the whole thing in six to ten moves, if you know what I mean — I’d learn six, ten moves ahead of time. We’d film that section and then we’d move on to another section. Having said all of that, I had an amazing stunt double. He went above and beyond — other than being an incredible gymnast and martial artist, he really watched my body and attempted to move like me and stand like me and hold himself like me. That was like such a gift. His name is Chris Brewster and he is capable is doing some stuff — which you’ll see as we get later on into the series, because the other thing about the show is [Matt’s] still learning at the beginning; he’s getting better; he’s still developing and honing his skills. But as you get later in the season, [Chris] starts pulling off some moves that will blow your mind.”
