"Why don't actors get more love for doing their own stunts?"
And yeah, this is a PRO-CROOZE post.
Dude will jump off buildings, hang from cliffs, jump from moving car to moving car, not giving a FUCK.
If an actor is willing to do that... enormous props in my book. Nowadays it's always a cut to a wide shot to allow a double to do it, or a cut to a CGI version of that actor that never looks as good, or an obvious fucking green screen. I would imagine it frees you up in terms of camera placement, camera movement, etc., not to mention it just makes the illusion that much more credible.
Must be a bitch for the studio heads sweating that their star will get blown to bits or fall off a building... but still.
I wish that CROOZE films would have end credits with blown takes of the stunts like Jackie Chan's do, to remind people, yeah, this crazy Scientologist will leap onto a moving car to entertain you.
