He was pretty cool!. He said that they actually had to go through 2 weeks of jump school and be trained under CAPT Dale Dye, USMC for the show. He did two static jumps from the tower and some work during filming in Switzerland too. Really interesting.

I tried to get a reaction out of him by saying. "I can't believe they had Neegan kill off Abraham!!" and he didn't bat an eyelid. He just said, "[Sierra] happens."

Haha.

Heh, good work, he looks like a pretty big guy, shame he didn't fall for the Neegan quip :0)

Nice pic by the way.

Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake.
No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.
