Born in Seattle, Washington, Lauro Chartrand-DelValle is of Mexican and Aztec descent and currently resides in Vancouver, Canada. At eight years old, his mother took him to see a Chuck Norris movie and a scene where a man gets kicked through a window, captivated Lauro so much that he knew he was meant to be a stuntman.
This early inspiration led to a lifelong dedication to martial arts, eventually earning him a black belt certificate under Master Fumio Demura. Lauro's professional film career officially launched in 1989 when he performed his first stunt on the original hit tv series MacGyver in Vancouver.
Over the course of his 35-year career in the flim and television industry, Lauro has worked his way up through the ranks, from international stunt performer to a highly sought-after stunt coordinator, director, writer and producer.
He has had the opportunity to work alongside massive action stars, including Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and of course, his childhood inspiration, Chuck Norris.
