Action actress Crystal Santos To Star Along with Danny Trejo in El Rey’s Man At Arms This Coming June
Stuntwoman/action actress Crystal Santos has been cast in the El Rey Network original unscripted series Man at Arms as a weapons tester. The eight-part series is hosted by Danny Trejo (Machete) and will premiere on the network in early June 2017.
Santos began her career as a boxer after being introduced to the sport by her father at the tender age of three. Later, she trained in Muay Thai and Kung Fu, which lead her to a very successful career as a stuntwoman in films like Oceans Thirteen, Argo and Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.
Santos is a dual Bullwhip Master and a member of the Devil Dog Tactical Weaponry team proving that there are no limitations for this powerhouse female in a male-dominated industry. As one of the few action actresses who perform all her own stunts, Santos is able to bring an incomparable authenticity to her film and television roles that sets her apart from the rest.
Iconic weapons and armor have played a starring role in some of the most memorable scenes throughout pop culture, from movies to video games to comics to TV shows.
El Rey Network will bring the popular and celebrated digital series, Man at Arms to television in a co-production deal with DEFY Media, the studio that created Man at Arms. In each episode of Man at Arms, a team of expert craftsmen skillfully reproduce famed weapons and armor from scratch, using both the technology that would have been available at the time such weapons and armor were originally created, as well as state-of-the-art technologies beyond the original forgers’ wildest imaginations, to create historical, modern, and mythological works of martial art. Each masterwork is then tested by experts for its strength and real-world functionality. Whether it slices, shoots, smashes, stabs, blocks, parries, or disarms, viewers will get a first-hand look at what kind of force each marvelous masterpiece can unleash. DEFY Media’s award-winning digital series, which recently celebrated its 100thepisode, consistently averages over 1.5MM views per episode and has built a vast and passionate fan community. Man at Arms is produced by DEFY and El Rey Network.
