Eos Karlsson is a professional stuntman, actor, and dance-acrobat who—alright, who cares really about the latter two professions? Let's just talk about the professional stuntman part. Karlsson is a part of a small fraternity of total badasses who jump off buildings, run through fire, get in fake boxing matches, and, at least until CGI became more common, died at a shockingly high rate (2.5 per 1,000 performers in the mid-80s).
This showreel of Karlsson's 2012 shows why it's such a dangerous profession. He does things most of us can't dream of doing, and we owe him a thanks for helping our movies suck a little less. (Oh, have I not mentioned yet that he jumps out in front of a train? Because he totally jumps out in front of a train).
