Chick Bernhard grew up in a family whose entertainment lineage stretched back several generations, and from an early age he set his sights on emulating his grandfather, stuntman Chick Yelton. His first exposure to the industry came as a young child, appearing in print advertisements and playing a paper boy on "The Jackie Gleason Show." He later teamed with his sisters to host a Miami children's program titled "The Skipper Chuck Show." Chick launched his professional stunt work on the pilot of Miami Vice, learning the craft under the guidance of legendary stuntman and stunt coordinator Paul Knuckles. Today he remains active in the field, working as both a stuntman and stunt coordinator on feature films and television productions.
