David Leitch didn’t exactly walk into Hollywood through the front door. He tumbled, flipped, crashed through windows, and got hit by a few cars—literally.Before calling the shots behind the camera, Leitch was one of the industry’s top stunt performers, doubling for Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
