For actor Simon Pegg, the first day on the set of 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One' involved watching a friend and co-star attempting one of the biggest stunts in movie history.
"Tom is very, very diligent when it comes to preparing for these things. He's not crazy. Everyone says, oh, he must be crazy. He does, you know, but he trains hard. Everything is in place. It's a well-oiled machine," Pegg explained.
"We were up there just to see it. ... We were all a bit hysterical because, I mean, we trust him and we trust the system. We trust everything involved," Pegg explained."But still, it's nerve wracking, and he would disappear, and then we'd wait and there'd be a big sort of pause. And then you'd hear good canopy, which meant his chute had opened at least. But he still had to get down to the boom. So it was exhilarating, to say the least.
"It's a real treat as an actor to be able to evolve a character like that and play him over a series of different films and build on whatever's gone before. As an actor, that's a privilege to be able to do that," Pegg said.
