Stunt Performer Spotlight: Lady Reed

Featured Interview With Stunt Performer: Lady L. Reed

Tell about yourself and your background! *

I grew up in the Philippines, started learning martial arts and massages there. Then I lived in Germany for 18 years, raising kids, working and learning more.

What inspired you to become a stunt performer?

Watching Jackie Chan when I was a teenager inspired me to be one.

What is your greatest skill as a stunt performer, is there a stunt behind it?

I am a martial artist. If kicking and punching someone in a film is considered a stunt, then yes. Martial arts skills are my greatest skills.

What is the best part about being a stunt performer?

The best part of being a stunt performer is the fact that you're doing the action and still not get hurt or hurt anyone.

Tell your all-time favorite stunt story!

I really like my scene in The Match-Stick Flame, where I had to roundhouse kicked a gun out of my kidnapper's hand and sidekicked her out of the room, then brawl with her into the floor. I finished her off with multiple punches.

What advice would you give other stunt performers?

My advise for others is simply to make sure that everything is safe on the set.

Anything else you'd like to tell the community about?

Safety comes first.
