Daniel Craig, Rick English – Skyfall

Remember Rick English, the stuntman who worked as Brad Pitt’s double in “The Counselor?” He also took part in the James Bond movie “Skyfall,” joining a crew of heavyweight performers from the stunt world, including Gary Powell, Roger Yuan, Mark Mottram, and Marvin Campbell. In a 2021 interview, English said that working in a Bond movie is “the pinnacle” of being a stuntman.

In the same interview, he explained how the crew managed to film the movie’s now-iconic motorcycle Istanbul chase. Most of the extras were professional stuntmen, as it was simply too dangerous to use “normal” extras in the scene.
