Steve Lucescu
Steve
Lucescu started his stunt career just shy of his eighteenth birthday.
He first studied Martial Arts at age 10, and eight years later concluded
a Martial Arts Demonstration in Fort Erie by disarming three armed assailants.
A Buffalo-based Producer approached him saying that Steve’s demonstration
was the exact end-sequence that he envisioned for his movie. A few weeks
later he hired Steve to Choreograph and Perform in his movie.
Steve’s
job as a Stunt Coordinator is to make the Director’s vision a
reality -- he is responsible for the creation and engineering of all
stunts on the production. First and foremost, the scripted action must
be accomplished safely. This includes hiring properly qualified Stunt
Performers, Stunt Riggers and safety personnel. It also includes determining
and implementing safety precautions and utilizing any equipment necessary
to achieve the ‘final shot’.
Steve
Lucescu has been a Stunt Coordinator or Stunt Performer in excess of
250 films and more than 500 television episodes. Some of his credits
include Driven, Hannibal, The Corruptor, Undercover Brother, and Murder
at 1600. He is based in Toronto.
