Preston Corbell
Preston Michael Corbell (born 23 Jan 1984, Dallas, TX) is an American stuntman[1]and actor. Notable stunt roles include doubling both Lucas Scott on One Tree Hill, and Kenny Powers on Eastbound and Down[2] and being cast as the bunnyman in Cabin Fever[3][4]
In an article in Naluda Magazine talks a about the difficulties of performing stunts[5] stating “You’re ok get back up and run it again.” Obviously sometimes you are not ok, and you need to admit that. But this quote helped me be as a stuntman because we get hurt a lot and face tricky situations so when something happens, I take a breather and saying that quote calms me." In 2015 he began directing independent films such as Ellsworth[6][7] and Rumplestilskin [8]
Career
Corbell has been in the film industry for over 20 years something he talks about in Authority Magazine in depth[9] stating "My career has been full of adventure, danger, pain and learning how to constantly push myself. One story that sticks out was towards the end of my career I was doing a car stunt, something I’ve done many of times before but this time I snapped my finger on the windshield and the bone was sticking out. The worst part was getting it surgically repaired. It took 5 sessions to close the skin fully because the skin kept dying around the injury. It was so painful each time without pain medicine and using only a tourniquet."
Corbell was featured on the podcast Mentors Collective where he talked about his education in mental health and how he can use his past knowledge of training as a stuntman and injuries to help other athletes from a former athletes perspective[10] Corbell has worked as a stuntman[11] double[12] and actor[13] steadily since 2002 on major productions.[14] He also appears regularly as a celebrity guest at comic conventions[15][16]
