Ive known Carl for over thirty years now. Hes doubled in me several feature films and TV episodes. Carl is a fantastic person, stuntman and actor as well. Glad he makes me look like a star with his great athletic look, and glad he helps audiences enjoy me in my dangerous action sequences!

There isnt enough that I can say about Carl Ciarfalio. Fantastic, actor, stuntman, and all around good guy. He has the ability to move even the Toughest Man Alive to tears when I hear his velvety baritone voice crack jokes at my expense. I always know that he is in my corner, and Ill forever be in his.

I've worked with Carl a number of times, and am always impressed at how graceful he was for a man his size. He moves smoothly and effortlessly in complicated fight choreography as if he's been doing it all his life. Just really impressed the hell outta me.
