Preston Michael Corbell (born 23 Jan 1984, Dallas, TX) is an American stuntman[1] and actor[2] He started his career as a teenager working in film and print modeling. He was cast as the bunnyman in Cabin Fever[3][4] and later worked as the long time double for Lucas Scott on the WB/CW drama series One Tree Hill[5]

Corbell has also the double for Kenny Powers[6] for multiple seasons on the HBO hit series Eastbound & Down. In an article in Naluda Magazine talks a about the difficulties of performing stunts[7] stating “You’re ok get back up and run it again.” Obviously sometimes you are not ok, and you need to admit that. But this quote helped me be as a stuntman because we get hurt a lot and face tricky situations so when something happens, I take a breather and saying that quote calms me." In 2015 he began directing independent films such as Ellsworth[8][9] and Rumplestilskin[10]

Corbell attended Texas Tech University to complete a Bachelor of Arts[11], Corbell attended the Wayland Baptist University to complete a Master's Degree in Counseling.

Career

Corbell has been in the film industry for over 20 years something he talks about in Authority Magazine in depth[13] stating "My career has been full of adventure, danger, pain and learning how to constantly push myself. One story that sticks out was towards the end of my career I was doing a car stunt, something I’ve done many of times before but this time I snapped my finger on the windshield and the bone was sticking out. The worst part was getting it surgically repaired. It took 5 sessions to close the skin fully because the skin kept dying around the injury. It was so painful each time without pain medicine and using only a tourniquet." Corbell has worked as a stuntman[14] double[15] and actor[16] steadily since 2002 on major productions.[17] He also appears regularly as a celebrity guest at comic conventions[18][19]
