About
Mike Smith
Overview
Michael 'Mike' Smith, originally from Houston, Texas started his multi-sport athletic career early. He grew up a lifelong practitioner in various martial arts, riding horses and motocross. On a diving scholarship, he graduated from Auburn University. He then went on to high diving in live shows at Magic Mountain and MGM Grand, which led to an amazing ride. He soon became one of Hollywood's hottest stunt doubles making Mel Gibson, Ethan Hawke, Christian Bale, David Duchovney, and many other leading men, look damn good. He's been James Bond, Batman and countless heroes driving fast cars, riding wild horses, and braving 100ft falls.
Soon after transitioning into the world of stunt coordinating and second unit direction, he was asked to be a member of one of Hollywood's most prestigious groups, Stunts Unlimited, and has served on the Board for multiple terms.
