LL Cool J: 'I do NCIS: LA stunts myself'

LL Cool J has claimed that he does most of his NCIS: Los Angeles stunts himself.

The singer-turned-actor, who plays Special Agent Sam Hanna on the spinoff series, told Digital Spy that he hopes to film more action scenes in the future.

"I do have a stunt double, but I like to do a lot of the stunts myself because I think that people should be able to see me doing it," he said.

"As long as I'm not laying under a guillotine or getting kicked in the face by a horse, it will be me doing the stunts. I'll let the stunt guy do the bad stuff, but I like to do what I can."

He added: "Hopefully, I'll be that much better as an actor in two years that I’ll be able to give a more truthful performance and my behavior will be more refined.

"In that respect, I think he'll be much more relaxed as a character. I also hope that I'm in great shape in two years so that I'm able to do more stunts and action scenes. I really enjoy that aspect of the show."

NCIS: Los Angeles resumes its freshman season in March on CBS in the US and Sky1 in the UK.
