Chris Carnel is one of Hollywood’s most renowned stuntmen. When he’s not getting shot at or blown up as a stunt-double for stars like Christian Bale and Jason Statham, he’s rolling Chevy Tahoes at 70mph, choreographing fight scenes for Captain America, and being a cult hero in the horror world (My Bloody Valentine 3D). Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a big After Hours welcome to Mr. Chris Carnel.
I like to fight … I’m fifty-two-years old—I still get in fights, ’cause it’s fun and it always turns into a great story.Chris Carnel
