Dave Dewar: Ret. JTF2 Breacher & Private Contractor - Now Hollywood Stuntman

Episode 6

Monday, August 11, 2025 • Duration 01:55:42

https://www.directactions.ca/

https://www.facebook.com/DirectActions https://www.instagram.com/direct_action_combat/

To be perfectly honest, there are so many different ways to describe Dave Dewar's life and career, that the title space just doesn't come close to covering it. Dave had a tough upbriging, but joined the Canadian Armed Forces at a fairly young age, rose up to JTF2 where he deployed to Afghanistan, later leaving the unit to become a private contractor - then *rejoined* the unit. After leaving once again, Dave became a police officer, eventually moving to undercover work, where, like in his other careers, he stopped terrible people from doing terrible things.

Now, Dave is a no-shit stuntman for TV and movies. And on top of all of that, he's a beauty of a human being and funny as all hell. Please enjoy our interview with Dave Dewar.
