Today's guest is an invisible warrior who you have seen on-screen plenty of times, but rarely his face. Tim Storms is a stunt performer who appeared in several episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise," but you may remember his most recent work as Sir Patrick Stewart's stunt double in "Star Trek: Picard."
Storms has been doubling for Picard since 2015, first on "Blunt Talk" and then following him to "Logan" before joining him once more for Picard. As we learn today, Storms actually met Stewart in his very first professional stunt gig on the set of Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Men in Tights!"
We learn about how Tim went from gymnastics to stunts, his first gig, training Laurence Fishburne for "The Matrix," kicking Scott Bakula for real on "Enterprise," and how the costumes and make-up made his stunts harder to do. Plus, hanging around with Hugh Jackman on "Logan," trying to stop Patrick Stewart from attempting his own stunts, surviving that big explosion from the pilot episode of "Picard," and his best advice for aspiring stunt performers.
