Nick Gillard

Movie stunt man and coordinator Nick Gillard, famously known as "The Swordsmaster," is best known now as the stunt coordinator for the Star Wars prequel trilogy. He had a minor role in Revenge of the Sith as Jedi Master Cin Drallig (his name spelled backward minus the k, though he is uncredited with this in the Episode III credits) and was Mark Hamill's first choice as his stunt double for Return of the Jedi.

Among Gillard's movie credits are various James Bond films, the original Star Wars, the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, the 1993 film The Three Musketeers and the 1999 film Sleepy Hollow (with Ray Park). He has also performed and coordinated for Lucas' The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television show.
