Biography

Stuntman Brayton Walter "Bob" Yerkes hails from Los Angeles County, California. He began tumbling at Santa Monica Muscle Beach at the age of eleven and ran away from home at fifteen to join the Clyde Beatty Circus as part of an acrobatic act. After returning to Los Angeles in the late 1940s, Bob started performing stunts in films. His stunt career spans several decades. Yerkes has doubled for notable actors such as Paul Newman, Robert Duvall, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christopher Lloyd, and Della Reese. Additionally, Bob taught many celebrities circus acts for various "Circus of the Stars" TV specials during the 1980s and has trained numerous stunt performers in his backyard in Los Angeles.
