Seth Ericson grew up in the small town of Hällefors where he was very
active doing a wide variety of sports - mostly gymnastics, climbing and
martial arts. He would eventually win numerous Swedish national gold
medals in both gymnastics and skydiving. At age 13 he decided to become
a stuntman. After finishing an engineering program at college in the
beginning of the 1990's he moved to USA to start learning the craft.
After having both studied and worked there he moved back in 1996 and
started to contact the film business in his native country. In 1998 he
was chosen to be the successor of Johan Thorén who is considered to be
the "grand father" of stunts in Sweden. Seth has been in charge of the
stunt company Svenska Stuntgruppen (the Swedish Stuntgroup founded in
1974) ever since. In 1999 he was able to negotiate so that stunt
performers are mentioned in the contract for all jobs produced by SVT
(The Swedish public service broadcaster). He has worked both nationally
as well as internationally (USA, Russia, China, Canada, Great Britain,
Spain etc) in feature films, commercials, TV-productions, music videos
as well as doing Motion Capture for the gaming industry. In 2012 he and
his skydiving team Bardagi came 10th at the World Championship in Dubai
in FS4. Also he's been a licensed rigger since 1997 and still work hard
to increase the safety for all members during a production - not only
the stunt crew.
