SAG-AFTRA Stunt Performer
Head Coach of SAGA Action Arts
Co-Founder of DC Stunt Coalition
Co-Founder of Action Hero Academy NYC
Falling into his first live-stunt show at Six Flags America in 2009 and later earning his SAG-AFTRA membership in 2013, Dylan Hintz has performed stunts professionally for film, television, and video games. As a lifelong fan of action movies and a student of martial arts, Dylan chose to pursue stunt work as a way to embark on a journey of non-stop training and adventure, and to connect with others like himself along the way.
Dylan co-founded the DC Stunt Coalition in 2011, an organization for aspiring stunt performers in the Mid-Atlantic Region, which has helped to jumpstart the careers of multiple students in both the Hollywood and Live-show industries. In 2018, Dylan began to train private students in NYC in between stunt gigs. He co-created SAGA Action Arts with Abra Burkett, developing a comprehensive curriculum that combined their favorite martial arts concepts and drills into a training method that is adaptable to both fighting and the performing arts.
Dylan has over 15 years of martial arts experience in Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts, Savate Kickboxing, karate, combatives and more. He is an Elite Level Certified Personal Trainer under the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) and has earned certifications in MovNat, Animal Flow and FRCms to further enhance his coaching of human movement.
His professional performance credits include GOTHAM, THE BLACKLIST, KNOCK AT THE CABIN, TURN: Washington’s Spies, motion capture for a major video game he can’t talk about (yet), and dozens of other shows that have shot in New York, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, DC and Virginia.
He has a degree in film analysis and criticism, and has used his love of cinema and his experience as a stunt performer to direct and design action for hundreds of small projects.
Since 2020, he has teamed up with Jayme Woj to co-found the Action Hero Academy, and build a new community for other aspiring heroes to join, train, and inspire the next generation of Action Heroes.
