Anthony "Bronco" McLoughlin (10 August 1938 – 26 March 2019)[1] was an Irish actor, stuntman, and animal trainer.[2]

He performed and co-ordinated stunts in more than 40 movies,[3] including being tied to the wooden cross that floats over the top of a waterfall in the opening scene of The Mission (1986).[4] McLoughlin also had roles in Star Wars (1977),[5] Superman (1978),[5] the James Bond movie A View to a Kill (1985),[6] Rambo III (1988),[7] as a customs officer in Total Recall (1990),[7] and an assassin in Gangs of New York (2002).[8]

In the horror movie Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988), because of a neck accident, Kenneth Cranham only wore the Channard Cenobite makeup for one day, and McLoughlin played the role for the rest of the shoot.[4]

McLoughlin was an inductee into the Stuntmen's Hall of Fame.[9]

He died in Ireland in March 2019.[5]
