Stunt Performers

Tips for Entry

Try to get as much acting experience as possible—whether in school or community productions or as a film or television extra.

Work hard to improve your physical endurance, strength, flexibility, and overall health. Since work as a stunt performer is very demanding, you will need to be in top shape to land jobs.

Apply for a job as a production assistant. Once on the job, network with casting directors, producers, directors, stunt coordinators, and others to let them know you are interested in working as a stunt performer.

Attend stunt school and try to obtain job leads with the assistance of instructors and fellow students.
