Kevin Rego: From Global Stuntman to Training the Next Generation of Action Heroes
In this interview with Kevin Rego, viewers are taken on a journey through his life and career, beginning with his roots in Fall River, Massachusetts, where he was raised in a Portuguese-speaking household by immigrant parents from São Miguel, Azores. Rego’s passion for performance led him to Orlando, Florida, where he entered the world of stunt work at Central Florida’s top theme parks. Over the years, his career expanded globally, allowing him to work in over 53 countries and across various platforms in the entertainment industry—film, television, stage, and theme parks.
Having directed, coordinated, and performed in numerous productions, Rego has tackled everything from urban action scenes to jungle-set performances, mastering a wide range of skills, including intense fight sequences and intricate stunt choreography. He shares his belief that stunt professionals are the unsung heroes of action-packed movies and TV shows. With this in mind, Kevin founded his own stunt academy in Clearwater, Florida. His vision is to offer students the opportunity to learn the craft without the hurdles he faced.
At his school, K75 Stunt Academy, students range from actors looking to enhance their skill set to those simply seeking a thrilling new hobby. As actor Pang Thao points out, having stunt knowledge can be a crucial advantage in the independent film world, where budgets often don't allow for specialized stunt performers. Kevin Rego's academy is shaping the next generation of stunt professionals, preparing them for action-packed careers.
