Ep443 - Katelyn Brooke, Stunts 'American Horror Story', 'Westworld' & 'Tenet'

"I grew up playing soccer, basketball; multiple layer athlete, so I knew what I was able to learn, how coachable I was, the amount of teamwork I was able to give", says stunt woman Katelyn Brooke. "So I felt very confident that jobs were going to land, but I'm still a student. Always a student." In this interview, we talk about how she went from being in the music industry to doing stunts, how to train for certain stunts like getting hit by a car, the stunt community and the common misconceptions people have, keeping secrets as a stunt performer, and the lack of Oscar nominations for stunt actors. This is a special interview associated with my first documentary, Daredevil Society, a series about the history of stunt performers, including everyone from Buster Keaton to Jackie Chan to Zoe Bell to Keanu Reeves.
