Brian Smyj

Biography

Brian Smyj (pronounced Smy) is a highly trained Stunt Coordinator and Stunt man with over 20 years in the business. From Gladiator (2000) to The Pink Panther (2006) he's crashed and burned his way across the big screen time and time again. When he's not launching someone off a building or lighting them on fire, he's designing and fabricating one-of-a-kind rigs, machines, and safety systems to make his stunts the best and safest in the business. Brian is one of the most creative, accomplished stunt rigger in the United States. Brian knows how to flex the rules of physics to defy the laws of gravity.
