Dane Farwell, who also appeared as an Extremis Soldier in the third Iron Man film, doubled for him on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The antics performed by Farwell/Coulson lead us to concur with Gregg’s assessment that Farwell is a “badass.”

Malin Akerman posted a photo of herself and her stunt double, Maria Radman, on Instagram with the caption “double” as a joke. They do appear suspiciously same, especially because they are both wearing blue pantsuits. This resemblance is desirable in a stunt double because it reduces the amount of post-production work required to make them look identical.

On the Ett sista race, Radman covered for Akerman. This international film premieres in 2023 and follows Dennis, a former family man turned street racer. The Swedish film “Ett sista race,” also known as “The Final Race,” has been called a “motor racing comedy” by Nordic magazine.

Salary of Stunt Double: $10,000-$50,000*

After appearing in three installments of the film series, Shia brought an end to his stint as a recurring character in Michael Bay’s high-budget action movies.

Movie/Show: Knight and Day

Production Budget: $117 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $10,000-$50,000*

O’Neill has collaborated with Cruise on projects such as Knight and Day, and he has also worked with other notable studios and directors, such as Marvel and Steven Spielberg. Even while Cruise did a lot of the groundwork for Knight and Day himself, he outsourced the harder things to the experts.

Production Budget: $13 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $10,000-$50,000*

Both actresses had extensive roles in the Oscar-winning film, doing both stunt work and dance numbers.

According to Sarah Lane, despite Portman’s assertions to the contrary, the actress only did 5% of the dance in the film. Seeing that she was just listed as a “stunt double” in Black Swan infuriated A.B.T. soloist Lane. The debate was so passionate that it warranted its own article in the online encyclopedia.

On set, they were compared as twins. For all her work as a stunt double, Maria Papathanasiou has also established herself as a successful model and actor.

Paramount’s The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stars Megan Fox as April O’Neill, a reporter who aids the TMNT in their quest to save New York City from the sewers. On Rotten Tomatoes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has a rating of only 21%, which is disappointing to hear.

Not only did Richardson do all of her own stunts in the movie, but she also served as an assistant fight coordinator. This meant that she was responsible for training Schumer and the other actors on how to look like they were fighting convincingly onscreen.

Salary of Stunt Double: $65,000*

Chris Hemsworth’s stunt double, Bobby Holland Hanton, was reportedly paid $65,000 for his work on Thor. That’s a pretty good wage, but it’s nothing compared to what Hemsworth himself made for the film. Hanton has been Hemsworth’s stunt double since the two worked together on Thor and the Avengers movies.

He’s a very experienced stuntman, and he’s done a great job at looking like Hemsworth. In fact, Hanton even doubled for Chris Pine in Wonder Woman in 2017. Despite his experience and skills, Hanton likely doesn’t make as much money as Hemsworth does.

They needed someone who looked so similar to Moore that if you paused the action scenes, you couldn’t tell them apart. Fortunately, they were able to find someone who fit the bill. His name is Tanoai Reed, and he’s a world-class stuntman with years of experience under his belt.

Murphy did an incredible job on the film, and she was able to make a very good living while doing it. In fact, her salary for the project was $80,000 per episode – which is actually quite a bit higher than the salary of most stunt doubles in Hollywood.

It’s interesting to note that Chris Pratt was only paid $250,000 for his work on the first Guardians movie. Compare that to the $60,000 that David R. Grant was paid for his stunts on the same movie. Clearly, stunt doubles don’t make nearly as much money as the actors themselves.

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Clint Eastwood’s stunt double, Buddy Van Horn, was also a personal buddy of Eastwood’s. Sadly, Van Horn passed away in 2021 at the age of ninety-two, leaving behind the legacy of a double for a major hero of Western action films.

Coogan’s Bluff, Million Dollar Baby, J. Edgar, and Dirty Harry are just a few of Eastwood’s films where Van Horn served as a stand-in for him. To name just a few, Van Horn directed Eastwood in the films The Dead Pool, Any Which Way You Can, and others. Together, Van Horn and Eastwood have made almost thirty films since their partnership began in the late ’60s.

 

Elisabeth Olsen and Jennifer White

Movie/Show: Avengers

Production Budget: $672 million* (Infinity War and Endgame)

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

As Wanda Maximoff, often known as the Scarlet Witch, Elizabeth Olsen did some very risky things. She had Jennifer White, her stunt double, to thank for her impressive moves, and she was one of the most formidable Avengers. White showed her the signature Scarlet Witch hand gestures.

Wanda is a fan favorite, therefore her movement instructor and stunt double must have done a good job. WandaVision, Olsen’s own television series, was a smashing success with audiences. As a series, the Avengers movies have broken box office records and become cultural pillars in the United States.

 

Ian Somerhalder and John Gilbert

Movie/Show: The Vampire Diaries

Production Budget: $55,000 per episode* (First Season)

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

In both The Originals and The Vampire Diaries, John Gilbert has played the role of Ian Somerhalder. In the first season of “The Vampire Diaries,” Gilbert had a minor part as a human and a tomb vampire. The stunt work for Vampire Diaries was not as extensive as it was for previous vampire-themed films like Underworld, but it was nonetheless necessary.

Aside from being a rating success for its network, the supernatural drama has spawned many spinoffs, including The Originals, Legacies, A Darker Truth, and The Awakening. There’s little question that many of T.V.D.’s stunt duplicates went on to reprise their roles in the many spinoffs.

 

Kristen Stewart and Kelly Phelan

Movie/Show: Underwater

Production Budget: $50-$80 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

When it comes to Hollywood stunt doubles, there is no one more daring than those who are willing to take on the challenge of performing stunts in an underwater setting. These brave souls often have to contend with dangerous sea creatures and risky maneuvers, all for the chance to earn a paycheck that is significantly higher than the average wage.

In the movie Underwater, stunt doubles were paid $3,200 per week, which is a testament to just how dangerous and challenging these stunts can be. Stunt doubles risk their lives every day to produce thrilling scenes to the screen, whether it is on a high wire or in shark-infested seas.

 

Antonio Banderas and Norman Mora

Movie/Show: Once Upon a Time in Mexico

Production Budget: $29 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Norman Mora’s work as a stunt double can be seen in films such as Once Upon a Time in Mexico, which features Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Danny Trejo, Willem Dafoe, and Mickey Rourke, as well as in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

In this 2003 film, the movie’s A-list cast did their own stunts and action sequences. Banderas portrayed El Mariachi, a guitar-playing hero who pursues a cartel boss who has a score to settle in the contemporary Western that he appeared in. The film’s worldwide gross was close to $100 million.

 

Emilia Clarke and Rosie Mac

Movie/Show: Game of Thrones

Production Budget: $100 million per season*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

The Game of Thrones stunt doubles definitely earn their paychecks. They often have to do dangerous stunts that could easily go wrong. In fact, Emilia Clark’s stunt double during the fifth season of the HBO series was Rosie Mac. Mac has also done a lot of work outside of Game of Thrones and stunt doubling.

She played the lead in the 2016 live-action Disney movie Little Mermaid, and she has cofounded her own casting agency, the Mac Model Casting Agency. Most recently, in 2020, the Daenerys stunt double played herself as a contestant on Little Mix: The Search. It’s definitely not an easy job, but it’s definitely a fun one!

 

Bryce Dallas Howard and Whitney Coleman

Movie/Show: Jurassic World

Production Budget: $150 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

You can be fooled into thinking it’s the same person when you see a snapshot of Bryce Dallas Howard and Whitney Coleman side by side. Coleman possesses Howard’s blazing red hair, bangs, and height, so the two seem “freakishly similar,” as Looper described it. On Jurassic World, the continuation of the Jurassic Park series, the two collaborated.

To far, there have been six films, with the seventh and final installment, Jurassic World: Dominion, set for release on June 10, 2022. Cast members who have previously appeared in the series include Chris Pratt, Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Bryce Dallas Howard.

 

Nicolas Cage and Damián Vázquez

Movie/Show: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Production Budget: $30 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Damien Vasquez, called “Cobra” by his pals, is Hollywood star Nicolas Cage’s stunt double. The Tijuana stuntman has had stunt parts in movies including Seized and The Retirement Plan, both of which came out in the previous several years.

Because of his efforts in those movies, Vasquez was offered and accepted an exclusive contract to do stunt double duties for Cage in the upcoming film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. One of Cage’s finest works, Talent is looking better and better. Starring Cage, Pedro Pascal, Lily Mo Sheen, and Ike Barinholtz, the movie is humorous, self-deprecating, and, most importantly, incredibly action-packed.

 

Nicole Kidman and Alicia Vela-Bailey

Movie/Show: Just Go With It

Production Budget: $80 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

The A-list cast of Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker, and Nicole Kidman helped the romantic comedy Just Go With It earn $215 million at the box office despite its low score of 19 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Alicia Vela-Bailey played the role of Kidman’s stunt double.

Bailey, who has previously been in films like the critically acclaimed Little Fockers, was Kidman’s “dancing double” in one of the sequences. Even though it received mixed reviews from critics, the picture ended up making $135 million more than expected, thus Columbia Pictures was undoubtedly pleased with the results.

 

David Boreanaz and Mike Massa

Movie/Show: Angel

Production Budget: Unknown

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

The stunt double for David Boreanaz on the show Angel reportedly earned $3,200 per week. This may not seem like a lot, but when you consider the fact that most stunt doubles only work a few days a week, it can add up pretty quickly.

Boreanaz is known for doing many of his own stunts and he is definitely not the only actor who likes to get involved in that aspect of production. In fact, many actors enjoy getting their hands dirty and doing their own stunts, even if it means putting their safety at risk.

 

Millie Bobby Brown and Various

Movie/Show: Stranger Things

Production Budget: $30 million per episode* (Season 5)

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Star of Stranger Things and Eleven/Elle Millie Bobby Brown prefers to perform most of her own stunts, although when necessary she uses a stunt double. There are many different actresses she doubles with that are physically similar to her, yet her audience never notices. As the show’s most dynamic character, Eleven demands it.

She can move objects with the power of her thoughts and is constantly on the run from monsters from the Upside-Down because of her telekinetic abilities. Her three stunt duplicates will be working hard this season.

 

Bradley Cooper and Unknown

Movie/Show: A Star is Born

Production Budget: $36 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

The stunt duplicate for Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born was called a “born lookalike” by Refinery29. In spite of the fact that this bearded figure remains unknown at present, the megastar and his double appeared to get along famously, since the latter was often overheard speaking with the former on set.

These extremely attractive siblings collaborated on the Oscar-winning, financially successful drama. Cooper played an experienced musician battling addiction and personal troubles. His character develops feelings for a beautiful young actress, but their relationship is tested as they begin to pursue separate careers.

 

Joaquin Phoenix and Stephen Izzi

Movie/Show: Joker

Production Budget: $70 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

A veteran of the D.C. Entertainment universe, stuntman Stephen Izzi has worked on films such as The Dark Knight Rises, Gotham, and The Joker. He stood in for Joaquin Phoenix in the role of Arthur Fleck whilst Phoenix was filming The Joker.

Unbeknownst to the audience, Izzi appears in one of the film’s opening sequences. No one can disagree that the best picture winner was an intense look at human nature. Fleck was an outcast who was coerced into being Batman’s archenemy. Despite The Joker being an exception, DC has certainly won Izzi over for its future comic book action films.

 

Christian Bale and Buster Reeves

Movie/Show: Batman Begins

Production Budget: $150 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Since Buster Reeves was a karate champion before he became a stunt double, he was a natural choice to stand in for Christian Bale in the role of Batman in Batman Begins. That wasn’t Reeves’ only D.C. endeavor, as he also doubled as Tom Hardy’s monstrous Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, one of Nolan’s darkest flicks.

In Batman Begins, Bale’s Batman journeys East, where he is schooled in martial arts by Henri Ducard, member of the League of Shadows. Reeves’ karate expertise was essential for the intense battle sequences. The picture was a smash, grossing over $374 million at the box office.

 

Danny DeVito and Michael Munoz

Movie/Show: Deck the Halls

Production Budget: $51 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Michael Munoz is another person that resembles Danny DeVito physically. Given that actor Danny DeVito is at barely 4 feet 10 inches tall, it’s impressive that stunt double Munoz was located. In addition, Munoz has worked as a stunt double for young actors and a suit performer for characters such as Mickey Mouse, Pac-Man, Pinocchio, and others.

The amusing dark comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia included Munoz as DeVito’s stunt double, and the holiday film Deck the Halls also benefited from his services. This film, released in 2006, cost $51 million to produce but only made $54 million at the box office.

 

Billie Lourd and Milly Nalin

Movie/Show: American Horror Story

Production Budget: $43 million per season*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Due to the fact that the actress Billie Lourd has appeared in a variety of roles during the course of American Horror Story’s production, she is a familiar face on the set. Milly Nalin, who has been working with her since the show’s 2011 debut, frequently serves as her stunt double.

The creators of both Glee and AHS share a common background, yet the two shows couldn’t be more different from one another. The gruesome seasons of American Horror Story have spanned a wide range of horror subgenres during the show’s lengthy existence. Much conjecture has been made concerning season eleven’s content.

 

Alicia Vikander and Hannah Behan

Movie/Show: Tomb Raider

Production Budget: $94 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

In the latest Tomb Raider movie (2018), Alicia Vikander stepped in for Angelina Jolie. The film’s over $275 million worldwide gross may be attributed in large part to Vikander’s performance in several high-stakes action sequences. Behan was her stunt double in the film, so she has her to thank for those performances.

Behan is no stranger to high-octane roles; from 2016 until 2022, she played a Vikings Shield Maiden on the History Channel’s Vikings. Additionally, in 2022, she performed stunt work for Vikings: Valhalla. The IMDb profile describes Behan as “well trained” and “self-driven.” From her output, that’s not hard to believe.

 

Patrick Stewart and John Nowak

Movie/Show: Star Trek: Next Generation

Production Budget: $1.3 million per episode*

Salary of Stunt Double: Unknown

Although John Nowak is now retired, he worked as a stunt performer in several Star Trek films, including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Army of Darkness, and Star Trek: Generations, among others, during his career. From what I can tell, he was Patrick Stewart’s main stunt double on TGN, and the two men had a striking resemblance.

Star Trek: The Next Generation was the next installment in the popular space opera series. It premiered in the late ’80s and aired for seven seasons and 178 episodes. Fans saw a more powerful U.S.S. Enterprise captained by a more collected individual.

 

Carrie Fisher and Tracey Eddon

Movie/Show: Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

Production Budget: $32.5 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

There are several photos of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double Tracey Eddon having fun on the set of Return of the Jedi. During a break in filming, the pair relaxed by taking a sunbath on the set. It’s understandable that Fisher would have needed a stunt double for such a high-action sequel as Return of the Jedi.

There was a significant payoff for Fox, George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, and the rest of the cast of the famous space opera Star Wars, which was released in 1993 and had a budget of $40 million but generated more than 10 times that amount at the box office.

 

Julie Newmar and Marilyn Watson

Movie/Show: Batman

Production Budget: $50,000-$100,000 per episode*

Salary of Stunt Double: $3,200 per week*

Prior to Eartha Kitt taking up the role of Catwoman in the third and final season of Batman, fans were blown away by Julie Newmar in the role. Instead of continuing her role as Batgirl, Newmar departed to portray an Apache lady in the Western film Mackenna’s Gold.

However, Newmar did not do any of her own stunts when playing the nimble cat thief Catwoman on Batman. Her stunt double, Marilyn Watson, was the one in charge of those. Since the antihero Selina Kyle is, well, cat-like, she has always required a swift, athletic performer or stunt double.

 

Karen Allen and Wendy ‘Leech’ Armstrong

Movie/Show: Indiana Jones

Production Budget: $20 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $10,000-$50,000*

The Indiana Jones film series is widely regarded as one of the best in the action genre. Millions of dollars have consistently been made by the adventures of the intrepid archaeologist and explorer, played by Harrison Ford. Karen Allen, who played Marion in the film adaptation of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and took place in the year 1936, was Indy’s main woman.

Wendy Armstrong (née Leech), who played her stunt double, had some of the film’s most memorable moments. The performer Vic Armstrong is Armstrong’s husband. In the critically acclaimed film, Vic played the role of Harrison Ford’s duplicate.

 

Natasha Lyonne and Becca GT

Movie/Show: Russian Doll

Production Budget: Unknown

Salary of Stunt Double: $10,000-$50,000*

Given that death is the primary focus of the program Russian Doll, it is not surprising that the show contains a number of different depictions of deaths. Natasha Lyonne does not actually do the high-flying action scenes in which she is struck by a vehicle. She owes that to Becca GT, her stunt double.

Also, Becca GT has done a “Professional Confessional,” spilling to the New York Post about her favorite sequences to shoot (she loved the car scene). The hallucinogenic, mind-bending thriller Russian Doll has been a great success for Netflix, receiving a 97 percent rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

 

Karen Gillan and Kelly Richardson

Movie/Show: Guardians of the Galaxy

Production Budget: $200 million*

Salary of Stunt Double: $10,000-$50,000*

There aren’t many other franchises that produce action films that carry as much of a punch as those from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Karen Gillan, who played the title role in Jumanji, now portrays Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers films. Nebula, for those unfamiliar with the canon, is Thanos’s adoptive daughter and Gamora’s adopted sister.

Gillan’s portrayal of the antiheroic “Luphomoid assassin” has won her many accolades from viewers. When fans of M.C.U. saw photos of Gillan and her stunt double, Kelly Richardson, both ladies in full, baldheaded, bright blue Nebula makeup, they thought they were seeing double.
