If you have been to the movies lately, or watched a little TV, you may have noticed that now, more than ever, kids are involved in the entertainment industry as talent. But did you know that there is also a carefully regulated "stunt industry" that also employs kids?

Falls from skateboards, bicycles, motorcycles and even buildings is not the exclusive domain of Buddy Joe Hooker (famous stunt man). When the script calls for a boy or girl on a bicycle to throw a newspaper from a moving bike, then crash the bike, there is a place a stunt coordinator can look to find a trained, qualified youthful actor to perform just such a stunt.

WWW.StuntKids.com is a real California web site for working young actors. Featuring a photo resume’ and qualification list for many young California clients, it is a way for kid actors with special training to get noticed, and a way for aspiring kid actors to arrange to upgrade their qualifications by completing specialized schooling.

In addition to in-line skating and skateboarding, Willie plays tennis, soccer, golf, and enjoys in-line hockey, snow-boarding, skiing and motocross motorcycle racing, all at age 12. Willie has competed in hundreds of different sports shows since 1999 doing skateboarding and in-line skating. He has toured with Gale Webb’s extreme sports shows across the USA in 2001.
