Update

Director Craig R. Baxley's name can be seen several times at the end of each episode of cult 80s TV series "The A Team", on which he was Stunt Coordinator and Second Unit Director.

Later, he would test his directing chops directing an episode of that TV series, but surely he must hold the record for coordinating the most flipped/barrel-roll vehicle stunts ever..?
