There are so many important components that make up shows and movies. The actors and actresses may be focus of our attention, but the stunt men and women create the action that we love so much. I had the opportunity to interview Andy Rusk, stunt man and the Assistant Stunt Coordinator for one of my favorite shows, NBC’s ‘Constantine’. Let me share our conversation with you. Photo by Nate Dorn KM “What inspired you to become a stunt man?” AR “I guess I was raised on television and action movies, and wanted to be a part of that industry from a young age without really knowing it. Growing up, I really wanted to be either Indian Jones or James Bond, but real archaeologists don’t swing from bullwhips and fight Nazis, and real spies don’t drive Aston Martins. The only place they do that stuff is in the movies, so that’s where I headed.” KM “What was your first stunt job?”

Imagine that as you slept, you sensed something in the darkness, but you are paralyzed and helpless, as a shadowy entity comes closer to you, welcome to the world of sleep paralysis. In Ascher’s documentary, titled ‘The Nightmare’ he explores the phenomenon of sleep paralysis and recreates the atmosphere and terror that the victims experience. Often people suffering from the condition wake paralyzed and unable to cry out. It’s not uncommon for sufferers to hear voices, feel as if something is in the room with them or see disturbing images during episodes and often panic sets in. Sleep Paralysis is more common than you would think, around 6% of the world’s population experience the condition. There is a common thread between sufferers, it’s not background or social standing, it’s the fact that almost all of the sufferers describe the same shadow people or horrifying visions during their episodes, leaving us to wonder if something bigger is going on.
