Chuck speaks at great lengths about being Paramount's youngest Stunt Coordinator on the over $120 million-dollar profitable film "The Hunt for Red October". Prior to this, Chuck references the same director, John McTiernan, working on 1988 film "Die Hard", choosing his father Charlie as stunt coordinator. Charlie being unavailable, he went to Charlie's son Chuck to stunt coordinate "The Hunt for Red October". Also, Chuck elaborates on "The Hunt for Red October" helicopter scenes shot in multiple locations in Washington and California for the film as a stunt double for Alec Baldwin. Chuck, in his early 20's, successfully landed the Helmsman Klingon role that was also a stuntman first and foremost on the 1984 Leonard Nimoy directed film "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock".
