We dive deep into his career, from how he got his start performing small stunts as a cowboy in a stunt show at an amusement park called Frontier Village to doubling the clowns in the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space—and so much more.

Mike is a Bay Area native, and many of the films he either doubled for or helped coordinate were shot throughout the Bay Area.

It was truly such a blessing to learn from and hear stories from someone who has made such an impact in the film and TV world. Oh, and did I mention his favorite stunt to perform is being lit on fire? Learn about all this and more in this episode of the Hocicona Hour.

A big thank-you to Andrew Neis at Action Arts in Richmond, California, for letting me use his space to record. Action Arts is a professional gym designed for parkour, gymnastics, and tricking classes. Keep an eye out for my upcoming interview with Andrew, where we’ll dive deeper into his career and all the work he does at Action Arts.
