De naam Chris Brewster zal je waarschijnlijk heel erg weinig zeggen, maar echte film fans weten dat hij de man is achter de vechtscènes en gecompliceerde stunts in onder anderen de TV serie Daredevil en de Captain America films. Nu had de website Dailydot.com een interview met deze levende legende en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een stukje lezen.


You've worked on a wide range of projects, but Marvel is probably the most high profile. How did you end up working on so many of their TV shows and movies?

Honestly, it was a very big coincidence, but I feel like my entire life has kind of pointed in the direction of what I'm doing right now, as far as being a stuntman for superheroes. I grew up doing martial arts... some are more realistic and applicable in street-fight scenarios, and then some martial arts are a lot more towards the performance aspect of the art. I grew up with those.

I did a lot of extreme martial arts, which combined traditional martial arts with acrobatics and gymnastics, and basically it's all the tricky, flippy fun stuff. I feel like that is literally created for the movies.

In terms of the characters you've been playing recently, the two biggest would obviously be Captain America and Daredevil. How would you describe the difference between their styles? Which techniques define each character?

If you follow the comic books, they have very distinguished styles, both of which are black belts in several different styles. Captain America is an expert judo practicioner, so all of his movement is based generally around that. You know, he's more towards the takedown and everything. Whereas Daredevil's style is a little bit more honed.
