Larry Rosenthal is a SAG/AFTRA award winner and four-time nominated stunt coordinator/performer. He won for Best Stunt Ensemble on the television show 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland. He has been stunt performing for over 25 years and coordinating for 15. Among his coordinating credits are Austin & Ally (Disney), Pretty Freaking Scary (Disney), and Warped (Nickelodeon). Stunt coordinating young performers can be a challenging undertaking, which Larry breaks down in great detail in this interview. Extensive fight scenes are rare in children’s television; however, one particular fight scene in Cousins for Life (Nickelodeon) provides the starting point of this interview. A Governor of the Television Academy’s Stunt Peer Group, he has been a member of the group since its inception and has served on its executive committee on and off for the past 10 years. When not stunting, Larry runs and plays in the stunt softball league and enjoys hiking, biking, the beach, and working on old cars.

Originally from New Orleans, Andy Young is a Film & TV editor based in Los Angeles who specializes in comedy. He has experience in both animation & live-action projects working for studios like Warner Bros, Netflix, and HBO. His work has premiered at major film festivals like SXSW, won Webby Awards, and earned +850 million views online. As a writer for Moviemaker Magazine, Andy has interviewed such filmmakers as The Duplass Brothers, Richard Linklater, Edgar Wright, Frank Oz, James Gunn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Robert Duvall, and many others. Film Fights with Friends typically centers around the exploration of live-action fight scenes and their production. With Andy Young, the first editor to appear on the show, they take a first and very deep dive (appropriate as Andy is also a certified scuba diver) into the production of animated fight scenes from script to screen. The focal point of this episode are several fights from Max’s Harley Quinn (2022) and Amazon’s Merry Little Batman (2023).
