Rick has an impressive credit list and has had a fight with Batman, Bond, Jason Bourne and Captain America! In Rick’s interview he tells us what it was like driving a sports bike 140 flat down a locked off motorway, the process of crashing a motorbike as safely as possible and working alongside cast to get the best performance for an action sequence or fight.
