Film Fights With Friends

Hosted ByStephen Koepfer & Paul Varacchi

Movies, fights, friends and beer! Steve, Paul and a film industry guest take a bi-weekly deep dive into a singular fight scene from a film or television show.

020: Stunt Coordinating is Child’s Play

Larry Rosenthal is a SAG/AFTRA award winner and four-time nominated stunt coordinator/performer. He won for Best Stunt Ensemble on the television show 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland. He has been stunt performing for over 25 years and coordinating for 15. Among his coordinating credits are Austin & Ally (Disney), Pretty Freaking Scary (Disney), and Warped (Nickelodeon). Stunt coordinating young performers can be a challenging undertaking, which Larry breaks down in great detail in this interview. Extensive fight scenes are rare in children’s television; however, one particular fight scene in Cousins for Life (Nickelodeon) provides the starting point of this interview. A Governor of the Television Academy’s Stunt Peer Group, he has been a member of the group since its inception and has served on its executive committee on and off for the past 10 years. When not stunting, Larry runs and plays in the stunt softball league and enjoys hiking, biking, the beach, and working on old cars.
