Brett Smrz raced go-karts with Julia Landauer before a life-altering accident put a pause on his racecar driving career. Faced with the opportunity to really launch his stunt performing career, Brett used his racing skills to become a full-time stunt performer for commercials, TV shows, and Hollywood movies. On this week’s episode of If I’m Honest, Julia chats with Brett all about his life journey and the stunt performing industry. Brett shares information about his accident and how that impacted his work, he dives into what the stunt industry is like, how you get jobs, and being part of a union, and he talks about what he particularly loves about stunt performing. Brett also discusses how he had to learn to crash for stunts, what it was like working with the Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning director Michael Mann, and what his goals are for the future of his career.
