Ray Abbott is a stuntman with over 60 credits to his resume. A graduate of Tenafly High School (along with such luminaries as Ed Harris and his good friend, the late John Erik-Hexum), Ray was introduced into the world of stunt work by his THS gym teacher and later Hollywood stuntman A.J. Bakunas. Bakunas unfortunately is remembered for dying trying to beat Dar Robinson's longest drop for the movie Hooper.When A.J.'s introductions to the NYC stuntman world failed to produce any solid work, in 1980 Ray went to LA to try to break into the competitive Hollywood stunt world. With little success, Ray returned back to NJ and doggedly beat the streets of NYC till he earned his place as one of the most respected stuntmen working today.
