Sinossi

After losing two consecutive matches while wrestling on his high school wrestling team, Rick Avery learned from his wrestling coach what would become Rick’s life motto—regardless of the risk factor and intensity of whatever obstacles he faced, he would show “no quit.” Throughout his challenging careers as a police officer, high-ranking martial artist, and over three decades working in Hollywood as a professional stuntman, Rick met each and every challenge placed before him with the sheer determination of no quit. Learn how he used this motto to his benefit—and continues to do so—in A Life at Risk. Join Rick on his exciting and ever-changing journey from the cradle to the present that is filled with great storytelling and wisdom as told by the person who lived it.

Informazioni sull'autore

Born and raised in New York’s East Bronx, Rick Avery and his family later settled in Southern California’s coastal town of Santa Barbara. After graduating high school and serving in the military, Avery became a cop with the Santa Barbara Metro Police. One rainy night while on patrol, he rolled up on the scene of a car vandalism call to find that the car’s driver was Hollywood movie superstar John Travolta. Over the next 35 years, Rick became one of Hollywood’s top stuntmen with more than 500 film, television, and commercial credits. Having worked on many of Hollywood’s most successful films and with some of the industry’s biggest stars, Rick mostly enjoys working with screen icon Robert De Niro. Their latest film is Hands of Stone (the life story of boxing legend Roberto Duran) that is set for release in August 2016. In addition to his stellar career in Hollywood, Rick holds a 7th Degree Black Belt in American Kenpo, is a national and world Masters Division boxing champion, and is a licensed commercial airplane and helicopter pilot and instructor.
