Hero Hut 018 - Movie Magic
Thursday, 13 May, 2021

Anthony Jennings lost his left leg at birth, but he never let that hold him back. Out of high school he moved to Hollywood to be a director but it turned out his handicap afforded him some unique acting jobs. After several roles portraying amputee veterans he was contacted by the defense department to help create an advanced combat training simulation. Partnering with the best movie special effects teams, Anthony would embed with units on their training mission until a critical moment when his trick leg would detonate. When not being a fake patient for real medics, Anthony has spent time as a police chaplain, motivational speaker, pastor, and now the director of a non-profit working with special needs kids in Haiti. You can check out Anthony's IMDB page, his organization Mission Bridge and his e-bike YouTube channel In Gear.
