his small size made him ideal for a number of roles. he was able to get inside a number of small, cramped costumes and even doubled for katy manning and louise jameson (wearing their costumes on both occasions!). his large range of varied skills also earned him considerable praise. in several dvd commentaries, a number of people have remarked that "he could do anything" from juggling, fire-breathing, acrobatics, stilt-walking and ride a motorcycle. as a relatively young newcomer to stunt work, he was eager to prove himself. one example was in "the claws of axos", where he is shot and then flipped backwards on a wire rig.
