DESCRIPTION

“I’d like to recommend Matt Yanagiya for our stunt directory. Matt and I have worked together on the Netflix film Atlas. Matt showed great skill riding wires and taking some wrecks. Matt has great body awareness due to his extensive Gymnastic background. He also has a fight and stunt rigging background along with acting skills making him a very versatile stunt actor / performer.” – Brett Sheerin, stunt designer and coordinator, stuntman and member of Stunts Unlimited

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Matt several times over the years and it’s usually been in Canada. I can’t remember the actual amount of times I’ve gotten to fight and work with him…Arrow, Altered Carbon, Jupiter’s Legacy to name a few!  It’s been well over a decade now and to see him level up in his acting as well has been wonderful.  He’s a great human and a strong asset to any team…he is quite multi talented too!  I highly recommend him. – Tamiko Brownlee, stunts designer and performer, and member of Stunts Unlimited.
