“John Cann has performed some of the most dangerous stunts on “Walker Texas Ranger” and has performed them flawlessly. His attention to detail and commitment to safety are second to none. His contributions as a stunt coordinator and stunt performer for Actionfest 2010, 2011, and 2012 were invaluable to making the film festival experience safe and action-packed. I would recommend Mr. Cann and Action P.A.C Stunts without hesitation."

John is the premier stunt expert, in my opinion, and I always go to him first when I need a stunt coordinator, exotic stunt, or recommendation. Additionally, John is the "go-to" guy for your equipment needs. And, let's not forget his focus on training and safety.

“John and his team provided a powerful and unique experience for our movie making summer camps for the past 4 years by presenting a fun and informative stunt workshop there. From safety to creativity, the workshops, and John's expert presentation of them were top-drawer.”

"John has performed and coordinated stunts for us on three pictures now; “Exit Speed”, “A Haunting at the Beacon” for Sabbatical Films and we recently completed principal photography on Advocate Pictures, LLC’s feature film, “Infiltrators”. This letter is to recognize John Cann’s contributions as a stunt coordinator, stunt performer and actor. We can always count on John to give an excellent performance while being mindful of the need for safety. In addition, we really appreciated his positive and professional attitude throughout the shoot on “Exit Speed” especially during very difficult weather conditions.”

“I have worked with John Cann and Action P.A.C. Stunts on several occasions over the years. John is very much safety oriented and professional in any project task assigned to his Action P.A.C. company. His ability to understand common sense and physics of stuntwork and special effects make him a valuable asset to any production. I consider John to be a close personal friend, associate and an outstanding credit and resource to the motion picture industry.”

I have had the opportunity to train under John Cann in stunts for almost 12 years. John's God-given talent, expertise, and knowledge are far beyond what anyone can imagine. He has trained me in high falls, fight choreography/techniques for film and stage, Air Ram, trampoline work, Ratchet, how to fall safely, car stunts, and many other skills that have benefited me in my stunt career. Along with the stunt training, he has also taught me the importance of safety which is number one to John. Over the years, I have watched John train a group of stuntmen and woman that have moved forward with their careers in the film industry. I have had the opportunity to perform stunts on Chase, The Good Guys, and Exit Speed. I owe my success to John and I will never be able to repay him for what he has taught me. On top of his talent, he has integrity, honesty, and passion that shines through and through.

“John Cann is an outstanding stunt performer and stunt coordinator. I have hired him for three feature films (“Exit Speed “, “A Haunting at The Beacon” and “Infiltrators”) and he did an excellent job every time. He is easy to work with, produces high quality results, creates stunning performances safely, and has a cheerful personality. He also is dedicated to training and teaching those coming up the ladder behind him. We hope to have the opportunity to work with John again and again.”
