Dead, Shawn Robinson, a veteran Hollywood stuntman and rigger whose credits include Guardians Of The Galaxy and the first three Transformers films, was found dead last week.
He had been working on Peter Berg’s new film Deepwater Horizon in New Orleans; when he didn’t show up for work on July 28, a fellow stuntman went to his hotel room and found Robinson’s body.
The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office hasn’t released a cause of death pending toxicology results.
Robinson, the son of legendary Hollywood stuntman Dar Robinson, specialized in rigging equipment so that stunts could be performed safely.
His prolific career, which spanned nearly 25 years, included stunts on such films as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Lone Ranger, Fast & Furious, X-Men: The Last Stand and Steven Spielberg’s War Of The Worlds and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
He was also a stunt rigger on numerous films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Catwoman and Hollywood Homicide.
