Justin Pearson
From a very young age Justin was thrown into the equestrian world having been born into a thriving family horse business in Shropshire. Through his early life and into his teen years Justin was heavily involved in show jumping and mounted games and with the latter sport he represented England on eight occasions, at the highest level with the Great Britain team and became British MGA Champion in 1995.

At the age of 18, Justin auditioned for a medieval jousting team about to embark on a World Tour which was to take in Europe, Asia and Russia and was successful. Valuable live stunt show experience was gained at this early age and many years on Justin was to form the Knights of the Damned - Jousting Team, an award winning modern day jousting stunt troupe.

Through love of performing action and stunts in a live show format, Justin trained to become a professional stuntman and was accepted onto the prestigious British Stunt Register and since then has gone on to amass over 100 credits in television and film.
Justin is now an intermediate member of the Stunt Register and can co-ordinate stunts for himself direct for production companies whilst keeping himself fit by performing in live horse stunt shows most weekends. Justin is also Actors Theatre School trained.

Veteran director John Boorman reveals the on-set secrets of Sean Connery

John Boorman about Sean Connery and filming of "Zardoz" (1974):

"It was the final scene of this sci-fi movie set in a post-apocalyptic dystopia. It took a day to shoot because Sean and Charlotte Rampling had to age hundreds of years quickly. 
It was hard work but it went well – then the lab scratched the film. We had to reshoot. Sean fumed, but said OK. This time the clapper loader exposed the film. Sean exploded, and it took several crew to prevent him killing the guy." 
 
"Years later I saw the clapper loader in LA. He’d changed his name because, he said, nobody wanted to hire the guy who’d upset James Bond so much."
