Stunt doubles, women and men with supernatural abilities to make leaping out of buildings, hopping from vehicle to vehicle, or engaging in action-packed combat sequences like the one in Kill Bill look easy, are the people behind every outstanding actor and actress who has ever filmed an adventure film.
Stunt duplicates are an integral part of a star actor’s “support crew,” thus, it makes sense that they have lengthy production careers despite playing iconic roles in blockbuster films for many years. Being a double means they really have to look like one, which is the fun part.
