Watch: THE RYAN CARR SHOW S2/E5: Pete Antico V. The Illusion

Last week’s episode of The Ryan Carr Show was especially informative as much as it was stimulating.

Carr and co-host, actress and screenwriter Natalee Arteaga sat with the 39-year stunt veteran and background actor Peter Antico on Friday to discuss the week’s news along with a plethora of gems pertaining to his heyday beginnings as a stuntman and the knowledge he’s accrued in the years since. Our trio also engage persuasions over issues pertaining to the recent SAG/AFTRA presidential election following Gabrielle Carteris’s re-election back in August, as well as the need for more stunt and safety committees, pay and pension equality, union transparency and much more.

The ending gets a little bit more robust and suspenseful as well, I’d say. But informative nonetheless and especially for stunt and film professionals alike. Enjoy!
