"Having the freedom to fail is a precious gift." Kevin "Cass" Cassidy, stunt man, author and owner of Ninja Nation

Kevin "Cass" Cassidy has definitely been in your living room . . . he's a Hollywood stuntman that you've seen either in movies or even on video games!

As a child, Cassidy was bullied due to a birth defect that could not be hidden. There came a day when he realized something monumental about those who were so cruel to him. And it changed his life.

His first feature film was the remake of The Longest Yard, starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and Burt Reynolds. Hear how Cassidy thought he was fired, but found out he had impressed Sandler and was rewarded!

Other shows: Black Panther, multiple Spider-Man and Ant-Man movies, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Captain America, Civil War, Salt, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay 1 and 2, The Dark Knight Rises and so many others.

On television: Dexter, Punk'd, CSI, Late Night with Conan O'Brian, Sons of Anarchy, and a lot more.

Imagine being the stunt person for video games! Learn about the behind-the-scenes deets in this episode.

His book is "Falling Down to Find Myself" and it is full of the ups and downs of his life and how he went from living on a friend's couch to joining Slam Ball to working with Hollywood stars.

Ninja Nation is his business that helps kids of all abilities to find a healthy mindset while building confidence.
