HARD KNOX STUNTS INC. is the personal services company of Gaston Morrison also know as Gaston Howard who was formerly known as Gaston Morrison (at birth that is…it’s a long story). Hard Knox Stunts was formed on February 7, 2000, and I started my professional debut in the film industry in 1993. So, this is about as skinny as it gets… I grew up in Surrey BC Canada, and quickly adopted the Surrey hard head ways… eventually I became a Drywall finisher (trying to make an honest living, not the Surrey way)… then became a Kickboxing champion… and now people pay me to jump off buildings and fly through the air on motorcycles. Best Stunt: High fall backwards with Jimmy Roberts in Budapest. On "I Spy," doubling Eddie Murphy, directed by Betty Thomas. Hardest/Worst show: Rollerball, shot in Montreal, doubling LL Cool J, directed by John McTiernan Most Famous and Coolest Actor worked with: Will Smith on "I Robot" Injuries: Yes There is a bunch of crap in between there but most of it’s a lot of dribble. I do have to say I have been very fortunate in my career and more so in life. I owe a debt of gratitude to my Kickboxing trainer, Dennis Crawford, for helping me turn my life around when times were at their toughest. I also owe gratitude to all those who have helped me along my path. If you are reading this and think you want to do stunts for a living; it’s like anything else you want to be successful at, there’s a simple formula… Patients, Persistence, Perseverance, and shit load of hard work. If you think you can just sit around and expect people to hire you to do stunts, think again. If you think you can schmooze and brown nose your way in… well some have done it, but its not very honourable, and everybody knows who those people are, and they gets no respect. Stunts are a tough game and a tight knit community. So if you think you are going to venture down the ground pounding path, you better commit 110%, it’s a long path to travel. |
