Personal Details

Biography

Brian Smyj, professionally pronounced as Smy, is a highly skilled and extensively trained Stunt Coordinator and Stuntman, boasting an impressive career spanning over two decades in the industry. His extensive repertoire includes work on a wide range of blockbuster films, from the critically acclaimed Gladiator (2000) to the hilarious and action-packed The Pink Panther (2006). When not orchestrating daring stunts that leave audiences on the edge of their seats, such as launching individuals off towering structures or setting them ablaze, Brian dedicates his time to designing and fabricating one-of-a-kind, custom-made rigs, machines, and safety systems that not only elevate the visual spectacle of his stunts but also prioritize the well-being of the performers involved.

As one of the most creative and accomplished stunt riggers in the United States, Brian has mastered the art of manipulating the fundamental laws of physics to defy the constraints of gravity, pushing the boundaries of what is thought possible in the world of stunts.
