Thanks a bunch for your words and your reply Vic, I'll keep those things in mind, keep being great, I know you will.

Long time lurker here but when I saw Vic is doing an AMA had to make an account. I've got a couple of questions for you Mr. Armstrong.

1. I have always wanted to be more involved in the stunt aspect of filmmaking, I have a degree in film production, just I'm not much for pen pushing. How would you suggest going about getting gigs to become part of the union and getting real work? Is the route of getting small SAE work in the beginning to get to know some coordinators, a fair way to go? What is an appropriate way to go about an introduction with a stunt coordinator without being annoying.

2. I am a kidney donor and want to know your opinion about how this may or may not effect becoming a stunt performer. I read that Jeannie Epper had donated her kidney back around 2000 I think, to a colleague, and continued to work afterwards so I don't believe it is impossible.

3. Lastly, this is not so much of a question but a compliment. I love the work you have done and all the stories you tell in your book "The Adventures of the World's Greatest Stuntman." You have created quite the legacy for yourself and I hope to one day be half as great as you.

That is sort of like saying oh you're a comedian! tell me a joke! or, oh you're fat, eat something!
