   Getting ready for a role

   For his role in Unleashed, Chatwin studied animal movement with Jean-Louis Rodrigue and Kristof Konrad to embody the specific mannerisms and behavior of a man transformed from a cat or dog.

3. Getting ready for a role

   In 2011, Chatwin appeared in the Canadian film Funkytown as Tino DeiFiori, a young Italian dancer hiding a secret. He wanted the part because he had never danced, describing himself as someone who stays still in a club corner.

4. Behind the camera

   Chatwin executive produced and starred in the documentary series No Good Reason, which depicted his motorcycle journey from Vancouver to Patagonia.

5. Own stunts

   In November 2016, Chatwin spent a weekend at the Keith Code's California Superbike School to build his skills. That led to an invitation to try out new AGV Corsa R helmets at Buttonwillow Raceway Park.
