Stak Trek was also a great job, again doubling a fine actor, Jonathan Frakes... The beauty there was that he had a bad back so I was called in even for the smallest type gags (ship shake), also being best friends with the stunt coordinator Dennis Madalone helped a bit when it came time to be thrown into ND positions (aka playing stunt aliens), which usually meant 17-18 hours days with make-up and all.

Yes, things are going well on Heroes; however, it would be great if Matt's character would flip a car or maybe do a fire burn more often. But you have to take the slow times with the good times.
