Mr. Aprea moved to New York in the 1960s to pursue acting before heading to Hollywood in 1968. His first break was playing a killer in the 1968 crime thriller “Bullitt” with Steve McQueen. He was originally cast to be a look-alike of another actor in the film, Mr. Aprea said in the 2019 interview.

Did Steve McQueen use stunt doubles for driving scenes in his movies? In the famous chase in “Bullitt” McQueen drove the Mustang part of the time, and stunt coordinator Carey Loftin drove it part of the time. The Charger was driven by stunt man Bill Hickman.
