The Name’s Mill...Whilton Mill

Gary Powell and his stunt team take a break from filming the latest Bond movie “Skyfall” to test their new “Jade karts” at Whilton Mill.  Currently working nights at a secret location - the team could not resist the temptation to exchange well earned rest for more adrenaline fuelled action.

Gary Powell is the stunt coordinator for the latest edition of the bond saga, however he and his family have been heavily involved with the “007” action sequences for decades. Gary doubled for Pierce Brosnan, his elder brother Greg doubled for both Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton and his father Fred “Nosher” Powell and uncle Dinny for Sean Connery.

The worst injury Gary has suffered in his career is a broken wrist and for that he considers himself extremely lucky.  Although repeated knocks and bruises have inevitably taken their toll, therefore stunt man has turned stunt co-ordinator.

Personal quote,

“People always think stuntmen are fearless.  But I’m Scared of a lot of the stuff I do, and if I come across a stuntman who says he’s fearless, I actually won’t work with him, because he’s got no sense of danger.  For us, it’s beating the fear.  You get frightened of something, you go in there and you beat it.  It’s a nice feeling.”
