Bill Leaman, Historical Stunts:  Bill Leaman got his start in stunts over ten years ago when he was showing off for cheerleaders at a Maryland gymnasium.  Subsequently, after doing stunts for a Washington, D.C. area theme park, he went on to work in many Hollywood productions, most recently performing utility stunts for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  He also has served as a stunt performer and actor for series such as Desperate Housewives and The Office.  Leaman loves the fluid problem solving that makes stunts coordination a job designed to be done so well and realistically that the audience forgets stunts were staged.  In addition to the credits already mentioned here, a few of Bill’s other production credits are as follows:

• Civil War Combat series(stunt coordinator for many episodes, History Channel)
