Behind every superhero, there's a super stuntman. For Chris Evans' Captain America, that man (at least for the character's second standalone outing, The Winter Soldier) was Sam Hargrave.

But Hargrave is more than just a human crash test dummy. The action specialist is a veritable multi-hyphenate, with credits for acting, fight and stunt coordination, and now directing. His first feature is an upcoming Netflix film, Extraction, starring another Avenger, Chris Hemsworth, slated to hit the service on April 24. The Men's Health team dropped in Hargrave's training space and stuntman haven, 87eleven Action Design, to find out how he preps for stunt work, directing, and more.
