Career

He started his career as a hairdresser and had appeared on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess as an extra. Stehlin was attracted to the stunt roles and opted to pursue a career as a stunt man due to having a martial arts background. He was contacted by a friend to help form a stunt team for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring because the original team was ironically working on the shows that Stehlin was an extra on.[3]
