    • Trivia
      He was Brendan Fraser's stunt double for the lion attack sequence in Disney's George of the Jungle (1997) featuring his two trained male African lions, Joseph and Caleb. Joseph circles parallel to Sammut, charging towards the camera and leaps on to him. The camera would switch to Caleb pouncing onto Sammut knocking him down. Sammut flips Caleb over on his back and jumps off him. The camera temporarily switches to Fraser interacting with an animatronic stuffed lion (provided by Dream Quest Images and Jim Henson's Creature Shop). Sammut escorts Joseph into the jungle afterwards.
