Expend4bles director Scott Waugh was Andy Garcia's stunt double 25 years ago.
Expedn4bles is now playing in theaters, and it makes the first installment of the franchise to be helmed by Scott Waugh, a stuntman-turned-director who has a long Hollywood history. The fourth Expendables film sees the return of Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture in addition to some franchise newcomers. One such first-timer is Andy Garcia, the actor known for films such as The Untouchables, The Godfather Part III, and Ocean's Eleven.
"So Andy totally forgot," Waugh admitted when we brought up Desperate Measures."It was so long ago. And of course, he hasn't aged and I have, so I was 22 I think when we worked together. I was young ... I waited to save that nice easter egg for him.
Waugh added,"Yeah, we had a great time working together. It was a lot of fun. And there was an interesting collaboration with Andy and I, just because I doubled him and I had his back in a different way back then. So collaboration with Andy again was super fun." Scott Waugh Talks Working With Sylvester Stallone:During ComicBook.com's chat with Waugh, and we asked about Stallone's involvement in the latest installment, and whether or not he's taken a backseat.
"Well, if anyone knows Sly, his ability to take the backseat is completely incapable. He is such an incredible storyteller in his own right, and his resume will lean deeply into that," Waugh explained."So I think Sly is such a wonderful collaborator and I think Jason [Statham] and myself especially, we always were respectful of him and asked for his opinions. Sly loves to be involved and I love for him to be involved because he has such a wealth of expertise.
