Tait Fletcher

Tait Fletcher briefly appeared on the UFC’s radar back in 2006 on TUF Season 3, but lost by split decision in the opening round and a couple of years later his MMA career ended after a 4-2 run.

Fletcher’s story is an interesting one as he was actually Joe Rogan’s personal bodyguard for a long time, but he’d also started to make in-roads into the movie business as a stuntman too.

Some of his early work included doing stunts on films like Thor, Avengers Assemble and Red Dawn, but people suggested that he should try to become an actor instead, because, “you’re the size of a fucking gorilla, and there’s no leading dudes in Hollywood that need you to double them cos they’re all five-foot-six.”

After that Fletcher began to break through playing small roles as the ‘bad guy’ in the likes of Breaking Bad, John Wick and The Equalizer, while he continued to land stunt work in other blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and Sicario.

Now 49-years-old, Fletcher continues to go from strength-to-strength, including landing not one, but two small but notable parts as Paz Vizla and Alpha Trawler in the recent Star Wars TV show, ‘The Mandalorian.’
