Charlie grew up in Corona, Queens running numbers before his brother, Paul (The Untouchables), convinced him to move to Hollywood and work as a stunt double.
In 1975 he got his big break as Stunt Coordinator on Starsky and Hutch and the rest, as they say, is history. He's an actor, a second-unit director, stunt coordinator, and first unit director. He's one of the founding members of Stunts Unlimited and has worked with the biggest names in Hollywood. His stories and lessons are the stuff of legend.
