Another hard day throwing an elderly bartender into a jukebox. We cast Steve Emerson as John the barman because he was a stuntman but could also act and pull off a formidable zombie. Still seems quite crazy to put a stuntman in his sixties head first through smashing glass.
I have continued this idea of casting stuntman and physical performers in small roles with ‘The World’s End’ which feature stunt performers ranging from 15 to 70 years old.
