Peter Diamond Interview

"Behind the Mask," the Family Channel, 1990

Peter Diamond, Stunt Coordinator

"Well, I've done - maybe with TV - I've done maybe 1000 shows altogether.  I go back to the early days with a picture like Knights of the Round Table. . .Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Roger Rabbit, and it just goes on and on, I'm afraid.

"I always try and make it a point that we don't do any dangerous stuff.  If it's dangerous, we don't do it.  We work in the entertainment business and we find another way of doing it.  Safety is of prime importance.  But to give the effect on the screen, it has to look dangerous.

"Duncan will have a stunt double.   We have to because of the insurance problems.  If Duncan were to get hurt, then obviously we can't take that risk.  Not that he couldn't do it.  He could do it.   But we are not prepared to take that risk.  The stunt double is a man called Ignacio who is a Spanish stuntman who is very fit and has doubled quite a few big stars in his own right."
