Also funny he called it dull work
It is dull work though. It's not for everyone. I spent time as a double for an actor on a show for 8 months and it's terribly boring stuff after the shiny wears off. Movie sets can be even more dull but I found it fun overall. Saw plenty of people walk off and say never again.
