Mini Biography

A champion sportsman and trackman in his local northern Australia, Gil Perkins generally wanted to enter films; as an adolescent he virtually went abroad, taking a work being a deck hands on the Norwegian freighter. He ultimately arrived in Hollywood in the later ’20s, through the period of part-silent, part-talkie films, and (because his accent was recognised incorrectly as British) he performed young Englishmen in a few of his first movies. He shortly drifted into stuntwork, frequently doubling cowboy superstar William Boyd and placing a crimson toupee over his very own blond locks to dual ‘Crimson Skelton’, amongst others. A few of his perhaps most obviously stunt jobs had been within the sci-fi/horror field. He doubled superstar Bruce Cabot throughout Ruler Kong (1933), stood set for Spencer Tracy as Mr. Hyde in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941) and changed Bela Lugosi because the Monster within the climactic fight series of Frankenstein Fits the Wolf Guy (1943). Furthermore to his feature movies, Perkins resulted in frequently in serials and on Television. On many events he caused special results and rigging departments, establishing large action moments. With the 1960s he was carrying out more performing than stunts; he “officially” retired in 1972, although he had taken several subsequent jobs.
