Jason Gray has been in the stunt industry for amost four decades working in film, television, commercials and music videos. We discuss his childhood in Iowa, wrestling, the genesis of Orlando's theme parks, live show dangers, sleep deprivation in entertainment, specialisation, The Oscars and so much more.

"Growing up a sports-crazed kid (a champion pole vaulter & wrestler)on a farm in Iowa, I set my sights on first serving my country after high school - then going to college. So after 4 years in the U.S. Air Force as a Security Policeman, stationed in Europe, I came back to the U.S. and graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha on the G.I. Bill with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.

Always aspiring to be in show business, my guidance counseloradvised me to move to Orlando, Florida. So I did! I always wanted to work at Walt Disney World Entertainment. I worked as a production assistant and did a lot of background work. I went to many auditions and finally started working as a stunt performer in one live stunt show after another across Central Florida. (Yes, I was Indiana Jones for a while.) I also got a lot of stunt experience working in Industrials, Corporate Conventions, and TV specials at Disney. I also worked at a number of stunt shows over at Universal Studios Florida.

I later became a member of a highly respected local stunt team in Florida called Stunt Dynamics. We worked and learned everything we could about setting up stunts safely, videotaping & editing action sequences, rigging, action design, and execution with the latest stunt equipment. Most of these performers moved to Hollywood, but I stuck around and was hired to assist in training new stunt performers, choreographing new fight sequences, stunt rigging & safety, as well as creating and developing new stunt shows at Universal. In 1996, I became the stunt coordinator for Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure Florida, and Universal Studios Japan.

Inspiration from my colleagues and my experiences and contacts at Universal Studios and The Walt Disney Company allowed me to move on to stunt coordination and assistant stunt coordinator on many local film, television and commercials by @itsjasongraystunts
