WHAT’S A STUNT DOUBLE?
That’s a person (1) who performs dangerous actions instead of the actor. For example, in a scene in an action thriller (2) where the spy jumps out of a plane or in a comedy (3) where the main character falls out of the window, the stunt double usually does that! And it’s very exciting work for someone (4) who wants an interesting job in the film industry.
WHAT KIND OF SKILLS AND TRAINING DO YOU NEED?
You have to be physically fit, confident and brave. You also need experience and skills in the areas (5) which the actor can’t do, for example, fighting, fast driving, gymnastics and probably riding motorbikes or horses.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
You should get some experience as an ‘extra’, someone (6) who appears in the background, often in crowds and they very rarely speak. In most countries, you then have to join an official organisation (7) that has a list of its members. IS
IT A DANGEROUS JOB?
It can be! A stunt double needs to spend months rehearsing the part (8) which they need to do. They also have to wear clothing (9) that protects them from injuries.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION?
Look online and you’ll find links to sites (10) which have video tutorials. Most of them say that you should join a stunt double association first. And of course, if you can, find a stunt double (11) that has already been in films to advise you.
