Stunt Performers perform supervised stunts which are overseen by Stunt Action Co-coordinators, who are responsible for stunts across all the filming units involved.
Stunt Performers are highly trained and qualified professionals. They usually have some prior experience of working on film sets as extras, walk on’s actors or runners. They are employed by film production companies to take actors' places when dangerous or specialised actions are specified in the script, or to perform roles requiring specific skills, e.g. martial arts, diving, boxing, etc. They duplicate as closely as possible the Actors' appearance and body language while in character, so that stunt scenes can be edited seamlessly into the overall action. They are subject to stringent checks, in order to verify that they can carry out the work effectively and safely.
