Biography

Eddie Davenport is a Hollywood stunt performer, actor, and keynote speaker known for helping teams perform under pressure and navigate fear, resilience, and high-stakes decision-making. Originally from Tarpon Springs, Florida, Eddie began his performance career in theater before transitioning into film and television stunt work. He studied theatre at the University of Central Florida and later built a career in Hollywood as both a stunt double and on-screen performer.

Over the course of his career, Eddie has worked on major film and television productions including Logan, Captain America: First Avenger, X-Men: First Class, Star Trek, The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, Real Steel and Superman. He has also performed as a stunt double for actors including Zachary Levi, David Corenswet and Hugh Jackman.

Today, Eddie combines lessons from Hollywood stunt work with neuroscience-backed performance principles in his keynote presentations. His speaking focuses on overcoming fear, executing under pressure, resilience, discipline, and sustaining performance in high-stakes environments. Drawing from his journey from an overweight, bullied teenager to becoming part of the top tier of Hollywood stunt performers, Eddie delivers actionable frameworks for leadership, confidence, and personal growth.

REDEFINING FEAR

Focus Energy & Attention on Results

Fear doesn’t disappear when you level up. You just get better at managing it. Your body doesn’t know the difference between jumping off a 30-foot platform and delivering a high-stakes board presentation. The amygdala hits the panic button either way. The question is never whether fear shows up – it’s where you choose to place your focus when it does.

Through the neuroscience of fear, the hard-won lessons of a 20-year stunt career, and the stories that built it – from a three-story dinner theater platform in Orlando to doubling Hugh Jackman on Real Steel to getting dragged across the Arctic Circle as Superman – Eddie shows audiences exactly what to do the moment fear starts telling them to stop.

In this session, your audience will:

  • Recognize fear as a signal, not a verdict. Fear doesn’t mean you’re not ready — it means you’re right at the edge of your comfort zone, where all growth happens.
  • Apply the blind spot principle. Acknowledge fear without feeding it. Keep it in your peripheral, your attention focused forward on results.
  • Use the F.E.A.R. framework under real pressure. In high-stakes conversations, career decisions, and team-critical moments — the same tool that works at 30 feet works in a boardroom.
  • Understand why commitment is what actually gets results. Half committing is how you break your neck in life. When everything’s on the line, the people who win are the ones who commit.
  • Reframe the setback. The wind that pushes against a growing tree is what forces it to build deeper roots. Resistance doesn’t break you — it makes you stronger for the next storm.
