Hiring stunt performers for film, TV or commercials requires more than finding someone brave. You need verified professionals, clear safety standards and a casting process that matches the right specialist to each sequence. Here's how productions do it.
List every sequence that needs a stunt performer or double: what discipline is required (driving, combat, fire, falls...), body type and height matching for doubles, experience level and insurance requirements. The clearer your brief, the faster you find the right performer.
Instead of random searches, use a professional casting platform like StuntsCasting.com. Our roster lists verified performers with their disciplines, measurements and experience — all profiles are anonymous until you request contact through our team.
Stunt budgets cover day rates, hazard premiums for high-risk sequences, safety equipment, rigging, medics and insurance. Plan a contingency of 15–20%: the cheapest performer is rarely the safest choice.
Always work with performers who have professional training, valid insurance and a track record of safe work. A qualified stunt coordinator should supervise high-risk sequences. Safety protects your cast, your crew and your production budget.
Great stunts make productions memorable — and they start with the right casting. Define your needs, use verified platforms and always put safety first.
