A movie star is not just an actor. know how to use a manual gearbox and drive sports cars. And, of course, he has to know how to use a gun. That’s right. You have to take the time to learn the procedure. The movie star has to be a real pro!
Now, the stuntman and the star of cinema are two jobs that coexist. Every stuntman has to be a movie star and every movie star has to be a stuntman. It’s just part of the profile. And that’s all I’m going to say about it. ” Peter Dinklage, Tirion in Game of Thrones, present at The Hollywood Reporter’s Actors Roundtable, added: “There should never be a shooting on set again.
So, it is our responsibility to do whatever it takes to avoid such events. There are too many guns in the movies? We’ve all kept guns in the movies, probably, and I always think about them as I am against guns, but the character isn’t.
It’s a very complicated thing. But what happened made the need for immediate change very clear.”
