The Prime Video supernatural thriler Suspicion which stars Stan Nze and a host of other popular cast members is a very action packed movie. And for something to be action packed on screen, that means that actors and stunt people on set need to get physical to bring the action to life. Sometimes, that can also mean putting people’s bodies through dangerous scenarios.
During a new interview with Pulse, actor Stan Nze opens up about a scary incident that happened on set of Suspicion explaining how and why medical assistance had to be called during the shooting of a scene. Here’s what Stan said.

During his interview, Stan Nze was asked “What was the craziest thing that happened while filming suspicion?” to which he said:
STAN NZE: Craziest thing that happened? Okay, I think it would be so I had a double. Most of you don’t know, there’s this scene where I don’t want to give out anything but they were sha beating my double, beat him, threw him into the door. All of that wasn’t me but here’s what was interesting about it.
So when they smash my stunt double into the glass, psss, ouch! He had scars, he had blood, and that shot was so beautiful but it took literally blood to shoot, to make that happen. And you know, I was already in costume cuz I had like double of the costume: he had one on, I had another one.
So I was already there sitting down and waiting for them to now call me to do my own close-ups, and to now mime the scene again. So I was wondering: why is this thing taking so long? Next thing, I was hearing “medic medic”, I was like ah ah, what happened? How did he injure? No be tempered glass? What happened to the tempered glass?
It was tempered but the calculation was something something, it didn’t crack as much as it was supposed to, yadayadayada. I say, it was very intense. And for me it was kind of sad because nobody should be injuring for me. That would have been me.
So I mean it was interesting to watch but sad at the same time. But seeing the result now and how good the scene was. I saw him at the premiere, he’s bubbly. He’s even the one that was like baba don’t worry, don’t worry. Shoutout to the stunt team, you guys took Suspicion from 60 to 110. Well done.
