Tony Hawk was initially selected to stand in for Spade in scenes with complicated skate tricks in 'Police Academy 4.' There was just one problem: puberty.
The athlete discussed his brief tenure as Spade's skating double on the comedian's podcast. Hawk was initially selected to stand in for Spade in scenes with complicated skate tricks, as both the skater and the actor are goofy-footed. There was just one problem: puberty.
"I went through a growth spurt, from the time we tried out [for the movie] to the time we got there, and so for the first week, they were like, 'I think that guy is too tall,'" Hawk recalled. "And I remember the director saying 'y'know, he's a pretty good skater but he's a bad stunt double!' and so then Stacy [Peralta, second unit director for skateboarding] kept telling me like 'Stay low.
Hawk said that he was replaced by another skater, Chris Miller, as Spade's double, which led to continuity errors because Miller skates with the opposite stance as the actor.
