Hiroyuki Sanada stars as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, who finds himself in danger from the Council of Regents. The rest of the main cast includes Cosmo Jarvis, Anna Sawai, Tadanobu Asano, Hiroto Kanai, Takehiro Hira, and Moeka Hoshi.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Royer Works Alongside Stunt Coordinator Lauro Chartrand-DelValle "I started working with him, and he's the one who got the show because of his relationship with The Last Samurai." ScreenRant: What first inspired you to do stunt coordinating? Sharlene Royer: It's because I work with my partner. He's a stunt coordinator, second-unit director, notorious stuntman, Lauro Chartrand-DelValle, and I have been his assistant for the past six years now. When I was working as a stunt performer, I was getting older, and I wanted to transition slowly into coordinating, so that was the best position to be in.

When she came to shoot the piece, he did the choreography, had the consultant, and made sure it was by the book. You know how all the fight scenes are being done now with acrobatic moves and all those special things. We did none of this because, at that time period, it was pure and simple basic martial artists.

Justin Hartley Helps Make Sure His Tracker Stunts Are In-Character "We'll put a fight together with the stunt double, and then film it, and then show it to Justin." You've worked on Tracker, as well. Obviously, the fight scenes are very different when you compare these two genres, but I'm curious if you noticed any crossover.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Sharlene Royer: Yes. We'll put a fight together with the stunt double, and then film it, and then show it to Justin. He'll look at it and will say,"At that point I will feel that way. I would rather do it this way because I'm more in that state of mind," and then we adjust everything. Sometimes we adjust things on the day, and he's very good with that.

The puppet is not our department, so we can just communicate with them and say,"What is he going to do, where is he going to be? This is what we're doing," and then we work in sync together. So there are a lot of moving parts that have to be in-sync in that moment. Sometimes you need to react to nothing. You know it's there, but when you shoot it, it's not there, and the performer has to react to something, and then they put it together.
