Gary Kent

Gary Kent (June 7, 1933 – May 25, 2023) was an American film director, actor, and stuntman notable for his appearances in various independent and exploitation films. A native of Washington, Kent studied at the University of Washington before later embarking on a film career. He made his feature film debut in ''Battle Flame'' (1959) and had roles in several additional low-budget films in the 1960s, including ''The Black Klansman'' (1966) and the biker film ''The Savage Seven'' (1968). He also served as a stunt double for Bruce Dern in ''Psych-Out'' (1969).

Kent and his experiences as a stuntman served as one of the inspirations for Cliff Booth, the character portrayed by Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino's ''Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'' (2019). Provided by Wikipedia
