I spent over 17 years as a full time Hollywood stuntman and was quite literally “bullet proof” in some of my roles. In the movie I am #4 I was one of the main bad guys who happened to be an alien. I was shot, thrown threw windows and trees, and smashed through tables but kept getting up (until I was stabbed in the face with the magic knife and my head exploded), but let’s focus on the getting up part. In Marvel’s Ant-man I was the stuntman behind the mask of YellowJacket (the bad guy again). I was able to shrink and grow at will, had super strength, and could shoot lasers out of my extra appendages. To be honest though I’m not sure if that character was actually bullet proof or not...hey I had super strength and shot lasers so close enough. I also had many roles where I was not bullet proof and was shot and killed by bullets, arrows, and magic spells many times in my career. I even once met my demise by having my head shoved into a table saw in a TV show called “The Originals”. For the purpose of this post though let’s focus on the times I was bullet proof.
This is great! I love the connection to your book and the laser focus on the problem of bullying that applies to students. This route also opens up your possibilities to a larger audience. The book study I am working on is working well for 8th graders and others who understand navigating life’s transitions, but superheroes and bullying will reach a younger audience too! I hope you will use both in your presentation at NCMLE. How can I help?
Thanks Kim. I'm shooting you an email now.
