Bio

Bryan McCoy hails from a modest background in Grants, New Mexico, where he was raised on a ranch and deeply embedded in a racing family. Both his grandparents were race car drivers, and his grandfather was instrumental in constructing the first local race track, the Uranium Speedway. This environment ignited Bryan's passion for cars and racing from a very young age. Along with his fascination for racing, Bryan, from a young age, developed a deep interest in action films and the unbelievable visual spectacles captured on the screen. This soon turned into a passion for stunts and choreographed performances. "As a kid, I was always pulling off stunts," said Bryan. "I loved Evil Knievel growing up. I was driven with no fear, which was good because I would crash and crash and crash until I got it right. To the point that my dad nicknamed me "Awful Knaweful,"  Bryan laughed. According to Brenda, his mother, "Bryan was a go-getter from the moment he was born." On a family vacation, at 15 years old, Bryan told his mother that the empty star on Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk would one day bear his name. Upon saying that his dream career was born and then set into motion.In pursuit of his career, he has travelled from Albuquerque to Grants, back to Albuquerque, and finally, at 19 years old, to Los Angeles with the dream of being a Hollywood tuntman. The process took him 4 years to get his SAG card by doing background work while doing little gigs here and there. He got his first stunt gig on a super low-budget movie being a stunt double in 2012. Bryan has since then become a seasoned stunt player and the founder of Real McCoy Stunts (RMS). His area of expertise would include stunt driving, precision driving, drifting, stick shift, having his CDL (Commercial Driver's License) Class A, and is also an instructor at the Motion Picture Driving Clinic. He also excels at fire burns, wirework, automatic weapons, and falls. "It has been a long journey coming from a small town with no connections in the film industry, but I would not change any of it," said Bryan. "Being a stuntman has been everything I ever wanted and more. Fun, challenging, full of risk-taking, innovative thinking, and lots of both mental and physical preparation. I am blessed to be a part of the Stunt Community and would like to thank all the amazing people who have helped me along the way."
