What fun it was to sit down with stunt performer Luci Romberg, who has recently been working as Melissa McCarthy’s stunt double (Ghostbusters, The Boss, Spy, Identity Thief).  She has also performed stunts on over 60 films in the last 10+ years, including Transformers, The Conjuring, Divergent, Zombieland, and Earth to Echo.

Interview with Luci Romberg:

Matthew Toffolo: You have been Melissa McCarthy’s stunt double on more than a few films, including the upcoming “Ghostbusters” film. What does that job entail? Does she appreciate you taking the “bumps” on her films?

Luci Romberg: Melissa is a dream come true!! She is kind, thoughtful, caring, hilarious and so supportive! I love her!! She is an amazing athlete and does a ton of her own stunts! The only ones she doesn’t do are the ones the studio won’t let her. I am truly fortunate to be her double. Aside from loving her…
