  8. Allan Graf's latest sport? Stunts in movies

    It may seem surprising that Allan Graf &mdash; the baseball coordinator, stunt coordinator and second-unit director for Warner Bros.' Jackie Robinson biographical drama "42" &mdash; first made his name on the gridiron. But that's precisely why Graf was the perfect person for the job.
