Best known for his “fiery” appearance on the cover of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here, he did stunt work for several decades on big movies such as far back as Spartacus, to later blockbusters The Karate Kid, Lethal Weapon and Thelma & Louise.

I read an article in People Magazine about his participation in shooting the cover for Hipgnosis, on one of the WB lots. “It was a hot record” it the quote I remember most by Rondell.
