Doug Coleman’s life reads like an action-comedy directed by fate and choreographed by sheer guts. From hitchhiking to Hollywood as a 14 year old with a sign that read “Safe as Milk,” to sneaking onto the "Dukes of Hazzard" set and somehow turning that into a decades-long stunt career, Doug has made a habit of turning chaos into opportunity.
He’s been launched off buildings, lit on fire, dominated demolition derbies and still somehow found time to master the art of magic, trampoline routines and the fine art of wrangling a volleyball named Wilson.
But behind every crash, trick and wire-rigged miracle is a relentless optimism that’s fueled him through spine-breaking falls, showbiz setbacks and the occasional bear attack (on screen, thankfully).
Whether he’s setting up an explosive stunt or a magic illusion, Doug is always chasing the next adventure — not for glory, but for the joy of creation. His story isn’t just about surviving the fall; it’s about sticking the landing with flair, heart and maybe a little fake blood.
