Erick Kaffka
Erick James Gabor Kaffka (born October 21, 1970) is a Canadian amputee actor, model, and stunt double.[1]
As a youth, Kaffka grew up in Orange County, California USA, surfing and playing sports. He earned an AAU Junior Olympics Gold Medal in 1981 for indoor volleyball and played on the Capo Valley High School football team. Kaffka worked as a mechanic in his spare time before moving to Vancouver, BC, and completing college for Business Management.
Kaffka was on his way to a black belt in kickboxing shortly after when he decided to pursue a modeling and acting career. He has appeared in several films and television shows filmed in Vancouver and California. In 1999, Erick was involved in an accident that resulted in him becoming a double-leg amputee. With a positive attitude and a new outlook, Erick continued acting and developed a niche using his new skills with a wheelchair and prosthetics. He was still able to do "walking" roles, but his acting horizons broadened to military and specialized amputee roles.
In 2001, he appeared as the stunt double[2] for Orlando Jones in "Say it Isn't So". Orlando's character was a double amputee, and CGI allowed the film studio to combine Erick's body with Orlando's face.
Erick appeared on several episodes of Untold Stories of the ER on TLC and Discovery Health between 2012 and 2014.
