Hollywood stunt performer lights himself on fire in support of SAG strike

Mike Massa, who body doubled for Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, appeared on stage during the SAG-AFTRA protests on Monday 24 July.

He is seen holding a placard as flames rise from his blazer and trouser leg.
