LOS ANGELES, CA – MARCH 11, 2026 –The Stuntmen’s Association congratulates our very own Vince Deadrick Jr. on being honored with induction into the Emmy Gold Circle Honor Society — a truly historic achievement. The Gold Circle is a prestigious lifetime achievement recognition awarded by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to media professionals who have dedicated 50 or more years of service to the television industry. This honor is not given for a single project, but rather recognizes individuals whose careers reflect significant, enduring contributions in technical, creative, or administrative roles.

Vince’s induction is especially noteworthy as he is the only Stunt Coordinator to ever receive this honor. This rare distinction speaks volumes about his extraordinary career, leadership, and the lasting impact he has made on our industry.

We are immensely proud to count Vince as a member of the Stuntmen’s Association and congratulate him on this remarkable and well-deserved recognition.

Deadrick worked on everything. You’ve seen his work, without ever knowing who he was, since most of the time he served as stunt coordinator for various productions. These span hundreds of episodes of television going all the way back to 1994, and then hundreds more as a stunt man from roughly 1994 back to the beginning of his career as a stunt man in 1974. He’s worked on everything from The Six Million Dollar Man, Man from Atlantis and the original Battlestar Galactica to features such as Romancing the Stone, Beverly Hills Cop, Fletch, Total Recall, Air Force One, Titanic, Iron Man, R.I.P.D. where he was stunt double for Jeff Bridges, and even The Naked Gun.

There is a lot more; the man is one of the best known and best respected stunt coordinators in the industry, and we join the Stuntmen’s Association in congratulating Vince Deadrick Jr. on his receipt of this well deserved accolade.
