Known as a stunt double for A-list actor Chris Pratt, McFarr had been a highly respected and sought-after performer for years. He had worked on several high-profile projects, including Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. Unfortunately, he passed away at his home in Florida on Monday, leaving behind a devastated family, friends, and fans.
