jpl: The most athletic ?
JB: The most Athletic would be Graham McTavish. Yeah, he’s really really fit. It should be between him and Richard Armitage for the most athletic. Those two really did step up. That was pretty amazing. They do their all stunts. weren’t doubled by their stunties very often at all.
