I assured the Israeli Army tank driver that if anything went wrong, he shouldn’t feel any guilt. He took the stub of a cigar out of his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and said, “I’ll live with it”. I only did this one once.

Falling Into Film:
A Stuntman's Early Adventures

From the bombed-out streets of 1940s London to the dizzying heights of Superman's world, this first part of Paul's career is nothing short of extraordinary and reads like the most thrilling adventure film never made. Beginning as a photographic model and understudy to Sir Roger Moore in The Saint, he absorbed the technical and artistic skills that would make him one of the most respected stunt performers, coordinators, and 2nd unit directors in the film and TV world. His early work on The Avengers, The Prisoner, and the Beatles film, Help! led naturally into stunt work in the 1960s.

His breakthrough came with The Dirty Dozen and A Bridge Too Far, launching a career spanning six decades. From Pinewood to Hollywood, Paul's helped shape cinema's most defining action sequences, across the industry's most coveted franchises - Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and blockbusters including Superman II/III, Aliens and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

This is the beginning of the story behind the man and the stunt scenes that defined a generation of filmmaking. The adventure continues in books two and three.
