While training for a Golden Gloves boxing tournament in Southern
California, Corey was discovered in his gym and cast to play the role
of a young boxer in the feature film
The Sting II (1983) for Universal Pictures.
Intrigued by the entertainment industry, Corey spent the next four
years perfecting his craft as a professional stuntman on the television
show
The Dukes of Hazzard (1979). Soon Corey's talents as a stuntman were in demand, and he
began working on several other action shows such as
The A-Team (1983),
Hunter (1967),
and
The Fall Guy (1981). Throughout his twenty-year career, Corey has kept
extremely busy working as one of Hollywood's top professional stuntmen,
doing stunts for such stars as
Tom Cruise (
Far and Away (1992),
Mission: Impossible II (2000), and
Vanilla Sky (2001)),
Robert De Niro (
Midnight Run (1988) and
Backdraft (1991)), and
Sylvester Stallone (
Cobra (1986) and
Get Carter (2000)).
