I would love to do my own stunts, but stunts are not something I have a lot of experience with.
But I loved doing the physical stuff for 'Dredd.' I have to give a shout-out to the stunt team that I worked with.
I love getting to work with the stunt coordinator. It's like choreography, like a dance.
I always wanted to be a stuntman. If acting went well and I was able to take a year out, I might train and get on the stunt register, which gives you qualifications so you can do more of your own stunts.
The stunt team were great on 'Defiance.' They were there, every day.
So there was always a stunt coordinator on those films that was from Stunts Unlimited and I was just one of the young warriors from Stunts Unlimited that got to be a part of it because it was a big show and they needed a lot of guys.
I'm actually doing more stunts for 'Maze Runner' than I did for 'Insurgent.'
I was the highest-paid stuntman in the world.
There are three versions of the hook. There's one that's solid metal and it's really heavy. It's sharp. It's not super sharp but it has a point, and because of the weight you could do some serious damage with it. And then there's an aluminium one which is a bit lighter, and then there's a rubber one for if you're to do stunts or there's any danger of cutting someone. Although sometimes I like to switch it out! It's the perfect coffee cup holder - it's literally the exact size. And if you've only got one hand and you're holding some food, it's great to put it on.
In the stunt world, fights and vehicles are often two different disciplines.
If you really get into a particular character, you also want to do your own stunts.
I really enjoy doing stunts, especially. I had never done any stunt work, ever, in my life before, and in our first episode of 'Legacies,' I was doing a bunch.
I don't do stunts and I don't think many actors do. For an actor to say they do their own stunts I don't think is very respectful of the profession of stunt men and women.
I do some of my stunts for the things I have learned. But if it is for something I have never learned, then I use a double.
I'm a great believer in stunt doubles. They do an amazing job.
