15 years after the first film in the saga, Tomer Sisley takes on the costume of Largo Winch. A role for which he did and still does his own stunts.
“A torn and dislocated shoulder, torn ligaments, a broken forearm and a cracked foot.” For the film Largo Winch 3, still being shot in Belgian studios, near Antwerp, Tomer Sisley resumes his role with some consequences, due to his own stunts. With the experience, the actor indicates to have understood the interest of a double, which has a real function, that of preserving the actor. “15-20 years ago, I was doing my stunts because I had the ability to do them and I had things to prove to a few people including myself. The problem today is that I’m locked into this character of an actor who does his own stunts himself, so no one wonders if I’m going to do them or not. Everyone assumes yes,” explains the actor.
“The understudy must be above the actor”
Alongside the actor, Jérôme Gaspard, stunt coordinator and especially Tomer Sisley’s former understudy, talks about the difficulty for a dubber to do better than the actor. “The difficulty with someone like Tomer is that he is a complete person, so the understudy, she had better send, because you give him a car in his hands, he knows how to drive, you give him fight, he knows how to do, fall, well you see, he tells you: ‘It doesn’t scare me.’ In the 2, we did skydiving scenes, it was he who did them. The understudy, she has the pressure, because she has to be above the actor.”, says Jérôme Gaspard.
