American stuntman

Scott A. Rogers is an American stuntman, film director, second unit director, and actor, best known for his work on the John Wick series.

Life and career

Rogers began his stunt career working on the 1993 films Last Action Hero and Cliffhanger before moving into second unit directing.

Rogers worked on the 2011 Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark as aerial designer, selected by director Julie Taymor based on his prior stunt-coordinating work on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007).

In 2019, Rogers served as stunt coordinator on John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum alongside second unit director Darrin Prescott. Both he and Prescott worked on putting together the horse scene and the motorcycle chase sequence. Rogers recalls that he and Prescott were given a lot of leeway from director Chad Stahelski.

Rogers later returned to work on John Wick: Chapter Four, serving again as stunt coordinator and taking over from Prescott as second unit director.

Between 2012 and 2015, he directed second unit on Seth MacFarlane's three live-action directorial efforts Ted, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and Ted 2, The Ridiculous Six, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, and Sky High.
