I try to be a little lighter, more mobile but look like him.”. Dec 27, 2012  I’ve been through this process so many times, I was on The Ultimate Fighter, I’ve been in the worst case scenario with the cameras in your face 24/7, but I still feel like a little kid that.

It’s opening day for the The Fate of the Furious, and I’m sitting at a bar in Hoboken, across the table from a man who tens of millions of people from around the world will soon watch steer a torpedo across a Siberian tundra. No, it’s not Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson but Myles Humphus, his six-foot-three stunt double. Even The Rock needs a stunt double in his blockbuster movies, and that’s when Humphus steps in to pull off some of the most athletic and dangerous tasks.

Humphus was raised in rural Georgia, a lifetime away from the world of blockbuster filmmaking. He took a circuitous path to get here, and since 2014 his 18-inch biceps have filled in for The Rock in Hercules, Furious 7, and HBO’s Ballers, and will soon be seen flexing in Jumanji and Rampage. He’s also an actor in his own right, with speaking roles in Banshee and Marvel’s Iron Fist. A former MMA-fighter, he enjoys sangria and finished several rounds of them throughout our conversation.

In his gruff voice, Humphus quotes his favorite movie, 2008’s Tropic Thunder, to describe his job: “I’m a dude playin’ a dude dressed as another dude,” he says, laughing to himself and self-deprecatingly underselling his craft. “You’ve got to understand who [Dwayne] is, who the character is, so you have to read the script,” he adds, more seriously. “If you don’t, you don’t understand what’s happening.”

On the day we met, Humphus was gearing up to shoot the monster blockbuster Rampage, which inspired an example: “Is there a giant alligator chasing you? Or is there a giant gorilla? You need to know, ‘cause the gorilla is a different character than the alligator. You have to know that.”

Little Fighter 2 (LF2) is a popular freeware PC fighting game for Windows and is the sequel to the game to Little Fighter 1 (LF1). LF2 was created by Marti Wong and Starsky Wong in 1999, and released in a long series of updates. Myles was born premature October 2nd, 2018. His due date was December 5th. We lost him on December 17th. He was such a little fighter. This was very unexpected and our family could really use your help with funeral/service costs. Dec 26, 2019  Yea well this wasn't really a lesson for the average man. It was more of an insight into the potential income and lucrative investment a B/C level fighter like Myles can make. I keep hearing fighters complain about how little they get paid. Mike Perry recently talked about his financial woes when he gets 90k just to show.

During a six-week stay on location in Reykjavík, Iceland, for the latest Furious movie, Humphus slid for miles over ice at 60 miles an hour to shove a 100-pound prop torpedo into a tank. Humphus performed the dangerous task with a series of dots scattered across his face, so that Johnson’s grimacing mug could be swapped in during post-production.

Humphus remembers filming the shot vividly: “There’s no windshield wipers on the truck. Slush is flying up; Jay Lynch, one of the best drivers on the planet, is doing the best he can. That ice is not flat. I’m covered in slush. I’m frozen by the time I stand up.” He recalls how the helicopter, carrying the camera crew, cut up ice. “I’m thinking, we’re going out big time. We’re gonna die here.” It took 15 takes to get the stunt right, and it’s now the centerpiece of a billion dollar hit movie.

Born to a white Green Beret father and a Korean mother, who worked as a seamstress, Humphus went to a military school where he competed in football, basketball, cross country, and powerlifting. He was discovered by Hollywood in the midst of a short-lived MMA career, during which he was living in a van. He never went down in the first round, but he says his fighting style wasn’t cutting it. “You don’t ever want to be known as a guy who can take a punch,” he says. “You want to be known as a guy that can’t get hit.”

He was spotted by prolific stunt coordinator Doug Crosby one day at the gym. “He saw me fighting, and he said ‘Hey, you want to be in movies?’” Humphus recalls. “I was like, if it pays more than three hundred bucks a night, and I won’t get punched in the face, I’ll do it.”

Crosby pointed Humphus to another coordinator, Brian Smyj, who helped him land his first gig on Saturday Night Live. “I abducted Ron Paul and threw him into a van, which is funny since I lived in a van so long,” he says, laughing. After a few years of more work and building connections, Humphus got in touch with Tanoai Reed, Dwayne Johnson’s official double (and his cousin). While filming the movie Tracers, Reed called Humphus, offering him a spot on Hercules. “I’m about to jump off a roof when I get the message. He says, ‘If you got a passport, we could use you in Budapest.’” Then, on the last day of Tracers, Humphus tore his kneecap.

“I had to jump over a railing. They wanted me like a gazelle, so I tried to do it as fast and high as possible.” But the railing buckled underneath, causing him to crash. He knew from the pain it would threaten his hold on the Hercules job, for which he’d be flying to Budapest for the next day. He begged a production assistant for antibiotics and bandaged himself, away from the eyes of the set medic who could declare him unfit to work.

“I couldn’t allow an injury to keep me from this.” And so Humphus arrived on the set of Hercules to double for The Rock on a bum knee. “Thank God they didn’t have me doing a lot in the beginning. It was a pain management thing. There was a lot of swelling, but I fought through that.”

Thanks to a strict upbringing and a series of good breaks, Humphus is generally humble. He rattles off the names of a long list of people who helped him get to this point, from Crosby to Smyj to Brett Chan, with whom he worked on Iron Fist. But no one is more inspiring than Johnson, who, like Humphus, also transcended a humble upbringing through sports and fighting. While most people at this restaurant we’re in would call him “The Rock,” Humphus knows him by his initials.

“DJ is inspirational,” he tells me. “He’s all about focus. You can’t slack when he’s around. He’s not like some actors who show up and give a half-assed [effort].” Though Reed is The Rock’s official double, Humphus steps up when Johnson’s beefy heroes need to be extra limber. “If they want somebody to run with agility, that’s me. If they want someone big and strong, that’s Tanoai,” he says. “[DJ] runs really quad-heavy. I try to be a little lighter, more mobile but look like him.”

To that end, Humphus trains extensively in boxing, gymnastics, and calisthenics, and doesn’t imitate The Rock’s legendary weight-heavy routine. In fact, Humphus doesn’t lift weights much at all and runs a 4.42 40-yard dash, which would make him a decent NFL draft prospect. Instead, he’s the insurance for a man who got famous performing his own stunts in the wrestling ring.

“He can do anything I can physically, but it’s a liability issue,” Humphus explains. “If he gets hurt, production shuts down. If I get hurt, no big deal. That’s why I’m in there.” Of course, Humphus is realistic about what that means. “My biggest prayer is they never find the other hundred guys that could do the same thing I could.”

Although Humphus makes a good living as Johnson’s double, his real passion is acting in his own parts, which he describes as both rewarding and a struggle. His desire to act comes from his pursuit of an outlet for his natural aggression that he didn’t have growing up in the rural South. “Fine arts are a way of expressing yourself without harming anybody,” he says. “I was bullied, and I bullied. I knocked over mailboxes and stupid shit like that. I had energy that needed to be expressed, and I wasn’t allowed to.” He’s serious about the craft, having studied theater practitioners like Strasberg, Meisner, and Stanislavski.

But because of his look, Humphus is often found playing big, scary, silent dudes: “Bodyguard. Bouncer. Military stuff. It’s always, ‘Big Scary Guy,’” he admits. He has no problem with it, but he’s eager to show he’s more than muscle-deep. “I could be more than that. Like, ‘Big Scary Guy Who’s Scared of Butterflies,’ you know? Give him a little bit of something,’” he suggests, laughing again.

So Humphus has taken it upon himself to write his own roles. He’s currently writing two screenplays, one titled Lucifer, in which he would play the titular character. Raised in the Bible Belt, Humphus almost sympathizes with “the morning star,” who he sees as a guy stuck with a job he didn’t want. “Lucifer, the guy who got screwed, and now he’s stuck. All you have to do is stop thinking of him as evil, and he could get out. But you won’t, ‘cause you’re too used to it.’”

Humphus doesn’t think of his impressive resume of stunt work as hell — the film is more inspired by his time at retail, selling eyeglasses — but it’s not hard to see the connective tissue of a man frustrated by his image. But, that’s Hollywood, something “DJ” also went through.

“He started being himself, stopped trying to be what he thought Hollywood wanted him to be. People love sincerity, you know?” says Humphus. “He’s what America is all about: Work hard, get big as hell, do what you wanna do. When he was trying to be what Hollywood wanted him to be, he wasn’t happy. Maybe he was, but that was before I came along.”

Humphus grew up watching The Dukes of Hazzard and wanted to be an action hero on TV. He fell into stunt work and is now in some of the biggest movies in Hollywood. Although he’s in hot pursuit of acting, he’ll still strap himself to rigs and hang onto speeding trucks in the meantime. “People say, ‘Are you, like, fearless?’ I’m like ‘Hell no! I’m terrified!’ Hanging on a wire, five stories in the air, I’m freaking out! But nobody’s gonna see it, and I’m more terrified of being broke.”

EARN REWARDS & LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY.

June 25-26, 1876. The most celebrated military man in America at that time goes down fighting. The images are ingrained into American culture - Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer in the center of his men on top of a hill, pistols in hand while fierce Indian warriors circle them on horse back shooting bows and arrows. Is that what really happened?

The Little Bighorn is not exactly off the beaten path and it is certainly not a geocaching oasis. But we are history buffs and it is such a fascinating place that we had to include it. Walking the ground of great and terrible events brings to mind questions like 'What would have happened if..' or 'Why did they do that?'. The Little Bighorn is one of those places. We thought we knew what happened here, but found out we didn't know diddly. After three visits in five years and some lengthy research and cross-checking of our own for the web site, we ended up with more questions than answers. We're not the only ones.

The Controversies

With the possible exception of Gettysburg and the JFK assassination, there has probably been more written about the Battle of the Little Bighorn than any other single event in American history. Even today, it is studied and argued and written about. There are still areas of the battlefield that have never been thoroughly investigated. Yet, despite all the books, oral histories, archaeological digs, scholarly research, written records, Indian lore and other examinations, there is very little consensus on anything - except that Custer got killed that day.

We visit battlefields and historical sites all over the country. They have their little mysteries and controversies at times, but nothing on the scale of the Little Bighorn. It's as volatile today as it was 138 years ago.

The issues are endless - the time and length of the Last Stand, how Custer was killed, how big the Indian encampment was, how many warriors there were, how many men got killed in the Deep Ravine, why did Reno dismount at the river, could Benteen have reinforced in time, did the Indians have rifles, what kind and how many - and the opinions are just as endless.

The two main rival camps appear to have historians on one side and archaeologists on the other. Historians rely heavily on battle records and interviews. Contrary to the belief that 'there were no survivors' at the Little Bighorn, historians will tell you that there were thousands of survivors. Over half of Custer's regiment survived and walked the battlefield the next day. There were many Native American survivors and they told their stories in detail in the years following the battle but researchers consistently dismiss those reports as unreliable.

Archaeologists say that those reports do indeed need to be taken with a grain of salt. Native American accounts of the battle tend to exaggerate and embellish personal accomplishments, such as all the braves who claim to have shot Custer. A better research model is to use use artifacts and forensics to detail the battle, basically treating the battlefield like a crime scene using forensic science that didn't exist before.

This conflict really escalated 30 years ago. In August 1983, a prairie fire swept over the entire battlefield, burning away 100 years of ungrazed grass and undergrowth. It revealed a treasure trove of artifacts and remains laying exposed on the charred surface. The National Park Service seized the opportunity to pursue archaeological examinations of the Little Bighorn. There were four of them - 1983, 1984, 1989 and 1994. They produced some results and theories which completely revised the traditional view of the battle. A sample of it can be found in this US News and World Report article from July 24, 2000.

To which the historians reply you can't do reliable forensics on a scene that has been contaminated for over 100 years by exposure to the elements, re-enactments, relic hunters and tourists tromping all over the place.

Well, you get the idea. I guess the archaeologists could counter that last one with 'Sounds like the pyramids.'

Oral histories can be tainted by personal perspective, language barriers and the skill of the interviewer. They also tend to be embellished. All archaeological sites are contaminated to some degree. Therefore it stands to reason that neither side has completely reliable information. Their respective theories are built on incomplete data and subject to endless and fruitless examination.

One thing you rarely see discussed are the actual conditions of the battlefield and the part that terrain and weather played. Prussian General Carl Von Clausewitz is credited with the concept of the 'fog of war' meaning the inherent confusion and unexpected things that influence the outcome of a battle. That was probably a major factor in the chain of events at the Little Bighorn - including real fog. The plains of Montana are dusty and hazy especially in late afternoon. The battle area overlooking the river is steep and winding with deep ravines (called coulees) that can make horses and men disappear from sight, only to seemingly pop up out of nowhere someplace else. Add to that the dust from thousands of horse hooves and the smoke from the weapons and it is very likely that there was a pall over the entire battlefield that prevented direct observation, coordinated action or effective assessment. This obscuring of the battlefield would have affected the 7th Cavalry more than their opponents, who had home field advantage.

Our little website is not going to solve the riddle of the Little Bighorn and we don't want to place ourselves in the middle of this controversy, which gets quite heated at times. Instead, we have chosen to present some noteworthy things we saw there or found in our own research, along with some ideas for visiting the battlefield today.

A Bad Omen?

When Custer took the 7th Cavalry into the Little Bighorn Valley, he had been in the regiment for almost 10 years. The war against the Plains Indians was in full swing during that decade and the man in charge of carrying it out was General Phillip Sheridan. An aggressive and ruthless warrior, Sheridan and his Union army laid waste to the Shenandoah Valley in the fall of 1864 in one of the most hard fought but little known campaigns of the Civil War. His favorite subordinate was Brevet (temporary) Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer, commander of the 5th Michigan Cavalry - the Wolverines. Custer distinguished himself many times during the Civil War, none more so than in the Shenandoah with Sheridan.

After the war, Custer was reverted back to his real rank of Lieutenant Colonel but his zeal for combat and his relationship with Sheridan remained. When Sheridan went west to deal with the Indians in August 1867, Custer went with him.

Indian fighting was much different from the swirling cavalry battles of the Civil War. The Plains Indians were an elusive foe who refused to be drawn into the decisive battles that Custer wanted. They always seemed to be one step ahead of the Army. Indian ponies were much faster than army horses and could live on prairie grass, which army horses could not. A cavalry unit in the field had to transport food for their stock, creating a supply train that slowed down everything.

Additionally, the distances in the Great Plains were mind-numbing compared to the relatively compact Civil War battlefields. If the soldiers did get within striking distance, the highly mobile Indians would pull out in haste before the soldiers could do anything. The only exception to that pattern was if the women and children of the village were endangered. Then the warriors would swarm to the attackers and fight ferociously.

One of those times was the Battle of the Washita (wa-shee-TAW) River on November 27, 1868 near present day Cheyenne, OK. At dawn on that bitter cold morning, Custer attacked a Cheyenne village which was set up as winter quarters on the banks of the river. Not expecting a winter campaign by the blue coats, surprise was total and the battle was a one-sided victory for the regiment, which suffered only one man killed. The Cheyenne recovered quickly and mounted a fierce if brief resistance. Even women and children joined in the fight, resulting in the deaths of many. Over 100 Cheyenne were killed and more than 50 were taken prisoner, mostly women and children. Custer and his men were flush with victory, however, this thing wasn't over yet.

Custer's men were in the process of burning everything and slaughtering 800 Indian ponies when they found themselves under fire from the surrounding ridge lines by over 1,000 mounted warriors. They came from other villages down the river which Custer's reconnaissance had not found. Suddenly, he was on defence, surrounded and outnumbered by a force he didn't know about until they showed up and started shooting. Darkness came on early, with deep snow and icy temperatures. A potential disaster was in the making unless he could find a way to extricate his regiment.

The reason the Indians didn't attack in force was they feared for the safety of the women and children taken captive in the battle. That gave Custer some breathing room. His solution was classic Custer. He attacked down river towards the villages. When the warriors moved to protect them, the 7th Cavalry changed direction and marched out of their encirclement. Unaccounted for and left behind were his second-in-command, Major Joel Elliot and 19 troopers. They were last seen pursuing hostiles early in the morning. [**HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE: Two weeks later, on December 11, a column led by General Sheridan returned to the battle area. Several miles away, near a small stream, they found the frozen remains of Major Elliot and his men, killed in a last stand on the day of the battle. Their bodies were retrieved, examined and buried in an unmarked mass grave that night.**]

Despite the close call, the Battle of the Washita River was considered a decisive victory for the army (because they needed one) and burnished Custer's reputation as an Indian fighter. However, this was Custer's first Indian fight and the only major one he would have until the Little Bighorn eight years later. In many ways, it was a harbinger of the future. In between, the 7th Cavalry spent most of their time patrolling the plains and rounding up starving, sick and frozen Indians who offered little resistance. Why should the Little Bighorn be any different?

But it was different. Custer was a horse soldier but the Little Bighorn was not a cavalry battle. It was a dismounted infantry fight. Most of the combat was on foot and low to the ground. There are two reasons for this.

Little Fighter Myles Munroe

Nine years earlier at the Wagon Box Fight in Wyoming, Native American warriors had been schooled on the futility of charging headlong into massed rifle fire, especially repeaters. In that furious action, 26 troopers with new breech-loading rifles and six civilian woodcutters with 16-shot lever action Henry rifles held off 1,000 braves for most of a day and lived to tell about it. One of the Indian leaders that day was Crazy Horse, the tactical leader at the Little Bighorn. By the time of the battle, his braves had repeaters of their own, which Custer's men did not.

The other factor is that Custer's men left their sabers back at their home base to save weight. That means they had no close in weapon with which to fight from horseback. A cavalry charge was the armored assault of its day, depending on audacity, shock, momentum and violence to carry out its mission. That meant cold steel and flashing blades at a full gallop. Instead, Custer's force had to dismount to fight with their single shot Springfield rifles. The Indians had lances, tomahawks and war clubs for close in fighting and got better use out of cavalry tactics than Custer did. If Custer had maintained the ability to fight close in on horseback, the outcome may have been very different. Why would an experienced horse soldier like Custer leave the sabers behind? Probably the same reason anybody leaves something behind. They don't think they'll need it.
