over - A brand spanking new Message

Chuck Stryker - Synopsis
July 2006
The Unknown Stuntman
Chuck Stryker (with a Y) was Britain's, nay the worlds most prolific and award winning stuntman. His career in the stunt world started in the early 70's where he made the leap from doing the bins in Barnsley to leaping into the bins (startled pimp) in the Sweeney, his first big break......... literally, he spent a month in traction with six galvanised pins holding is coxis together.
During the 70's and 80's Chuck Stryker built up a reputation as the worlds number one stuntman, as Chuck puts it "Those where the days when a stuntman was exactly that, A MAN and not a stuntPERSON or a bit of high tech jiggery pokery, the worlds gone mad." From Smokey and the Bandit to Ryan's Daughter if a stunt needed doing Chuck Stryker was the Directors first port of call. In the words of Chuck himself,
"You leave a building through the front door, I leave through the window...
or the roof... or the drain pipe... or perhaps one of those rubbish
shoots depending on the dimensions... Look you get the picture!"
Chuck had it all, the money, the house in Hollywood, girls, celebrity friends and name a stunt award he'd have probably won it. Things started to go wrong in the mid 90's with the introduction of CGI (computer generated imagery) or as Chuck calls it, "crap graphics indeed", which began to put the traditional stuntman out of work.
Films like Highlander, Labyrinth, Blue Thunder and the Colour Purple became more reliant on this new way of film making and the once non stop phone calls, money and offers of work all started to dry up for Chuck Stryker.
In 2006 the fast moving computer generated film industry as moved on and in doing so as left Chuck behind, he now lives back home in Barnsley in a one bedroom flat above piece-a-pizzas.
The only thing that stops the bitterness eating him alive is Paul Dreggs, a young ambitious stuntman who idolises Chuck and wants to learn the craftsmanship of the stunt from the original and true stunt master. Along with trying to get a documentary about his life off the ground and teaching young Paul the ropes Chuck now finds work where ever and when ever he can.
A day on Corrie as an extra in a fight scene, falling over a dead prostitute in Hollyoaks to being trampled to death by a heard of Sheep on Daziel and Pascoe, Chuck will do it and this is his story.
Chuck Stryker - Latest News!
July 2006
Hello friends here's another update and a few more sneaky pics of my new character Chuck Stryker - Stuntman.
I'm in make up for a couple of hours every day and I've got a big bushy wig, not ideal considering it's nigh on a 100 degrees outside at this present moment.
I've put on about a stone and half in weight to get that nice paunch round the stomach, it was hell eating all those cakes, drinking beer and having extra sugars in my tea but it was all worth it because it suits the character. I'll have to hammer the ab rocker down the gym to get rid of my gut but it shouldn't take to long to get back to a fighting weight................. please God.
Paddy
PS
Soon as I get my PC set up I'll be going through all my e mails and answering your questions.

Soccer Aid - 7 Day Auction for Paddy's Shirt and others!
Your chance to own a piece of sporting history
The shock wave of emotion that reverberated around the world following the Asian Tsunami galvanized a small group of football professionals - players, agents, and associates - to create Tsunami Soccer Aid. Its sole purpose was to raise much-needed funds to help the Tsnuami victims. Weeks of organisation culminated in one of the most unique charity football matches ever seen - a 'Liverpool FC Legends' squad comprising ex-players from 4 decades versus a 'Celebrity XI' squad from the world of sport, music and entertainment. The match staged at Anfield Stadium drew a near-capacity crowd and raised over £500,000.
Now you can bid for these unique shirts - signed on the day by Liverpool Legends and the Celebrities!
Embroidered with the Tsunami Soccer Aid logo, and personalised "Anfield Stadium, 27 March" - each shirt is a special keep-sake from this memorable day. For the celebrities, it was a chance in a lifetime to play on the hallowed turf of Anfield. For the returning players, it was an emotional reunion with old friends and the chance to play in front of the kop for one last time. We have 38 shirts from the dressing room that day - 36 individually signed by the Liverpool FC Legends and Celebrities, and 2 shirts signed by each squad. Given that the Liverpool squad featured 4 decades of ex-stars, this is truly unique memorabilia.

Urgent Message to My Fans
February 2006
Hello my friends this is just a quickie but I feel it needs to be put on the site.
I've received numerous e mails from disappointed people who wanted to no why I didn't show up for a P.A. on Sat 25th Feb 06 at Tokyo Project Oldham. Firstly can I say sorry to any of my fans who bought tickets or turned up to see me on the night because I, my management team and the agency in charge of my P.A.'s were never approached by anyone from Tokyo Project about this P.A. and no booking was ever made.
I think the management team or whoever was responsible for the false advertising at the club and in the local press about myself being there for this P.A. on the 25th owe everyone who turned up and bought tickets an apology.
Again I'm really sorry about this but it was totally out of my control and I had no knowledge of this, the first I knew about it was after I'd received e mails from disappointed fans who'd turned up to meet me. If you have any further complaints about this matter please contact the management at Tokyo Project Oldham.
Now then onto bigger and better things, I started the second leg of my Darkside Tour last week and it's been fantastic. I'll be posting you all a full and proper message in the next few days, until then be good and watch out for false advertising.
