Blayden Butler in The Living Daylights
Bill Weston’s career as a stunt performer spanned
approximately 40 years in almost one hundred projects that ranged from
television to film. Interestingly, he worked on several Eon Productions (and
one non-Eon) Bond films, yet his Wikipedia entry spotlights his work in Saving
Private Ryan, Titanic and Raiders
of the Lost Ark. All three are stunt heavy,
but so are the Bond films!
Special note, Weston even worked on the Alex Rider:
Operation Stormbreaker (2006) movie that
starred a young Alex Pettyfer as Alex Rider, based on the novel by Anthony
Horowitz. I read the book and found it to a fun, young James Bond oriented
book.
