Yeah, I’ve done a few. First thing – know the line before you even touch the prop. If the body work is rehearsed, the brain just locks onto the emotion. Second, get a cue from the crew, not the adrenaline. When the boom mic says “Action,” it’s a signal that the scene’s real, not a cue to jump. Finally, stay in that one character you’re playing; if you’re a tired cop in a car crash, you won’t let the lights flash and the glass shatter be a distraction. The stunt is the backdrop, the story stays inside your head. That's how I keep it grounded.

Sure, chaos is the seasoning of a good scene. I'll lace the routine with a sudden break in rhythm, a flick of an extra's eye, a misstep—anything that throws the lights off a beat. But the character stays, eyes locked on the truth of the moment, not the sparkle of the stunt. Bring the adrenaline, keep the line, and let the chaos be a tool, not a distraction. Let's fire it up.
