I've got an extra special Weird Wednesday for you this week, and it's all about a guy named Dr Danger, and they call him Dr Danger for a dang good reason!
Dr Danger is a master of 'live' for real drama, a stunt man who puts his life on the line time after time, all in the name of entertainment, and it's been pretty well documented over the last few years!
We first met Greg Carpenter, aka Dr Danger back in the year 2000, when he volunteered to be the Assistant Director on our first film, "The Creep." He also did a terrific job in the role of the police officer who had "The Creep," but let him slip through his fingers, and get away!
This was probably the last time he ever drove a Chevy II.
Since that time Greg has been a very busy cat, taking his Dr Danger stunts to places like MTV and The History Channel just to name a couple!
In 2012, Dr Danger and Stunt Pro James Smith met up at the Hazzard County Reunion in VA to do a stunt!!
In 2015, Dr Danger's Daredevil All Stars appeared on "America's Got Talent!"
The Daredevil All Stars all piled into a bus with Dr D behind the wheel, and went up a ramp and plowed into two other buses standing up in a vertical position. You can watch whole segment
To say the judges were wowed would be an understatement!
Here's the thing about Dr Danger............................
............................This shit IS real, and he's gotten hurt multiple times and his body is full of broken bones, but that doesn't stop him, because he's a badass, and this is just what he does!
Does this look like the face of a man you'd trust to set you on fire?
A few years ago, Dr Danger appeared on this Sunday Morning show in a segment titled "Dr Danger's Daredevil Legends Show," and you can watch it RIGHT HERE!
What a show that must have been, the other people featured besides Dr Danger, were Oliver Stone, Jamie Lee Curtis, and The Pope!
No matter where Dr Danger goes, there are going to be ambulances, and usually more than one!
Dr Danger is also a big supporter of the cause "Surplus Americans," an organization "Helping Veterans To Help Themselves," and you can be an 'action hero' too by going HERE and donating something!
Why not "Get Involved?"
"What could possibly go wrong?"
There are 42 videos on the "Dr Danger Stunts" page, so grab yourself a beer and be prepared to be amazed!
Dr Danger and his buddy Texas Trash are like some dynamic duo who save people's lives by taking it out on themselves!
Trash was the star of a dark comedy called "Candy Apple," made by filmmaker Dean Dempsey in 2015.
Texas Trash and the Trainwrecks tear up a tune called "Loose Devils."
You can hear that tune and a whole lot more at my
"Hey, you there...............Are you all right???"
I've had the PRIVILEGE AND HONOR OF WORKING WITH DR DANGER, HE'S A BAD ASS TO SAY THE LEAST PLUS HE'S THE BEST FATHER A SON COULD ASK FOR. Can't wait until the next time WE MEET UP TO DO WHAT WE LOVE!!!! GREAT ARTICLE BTW...
