If you’re a fan of action movies, it can sometimes seem unbelievable what your favorite movie stars go through. While many action movie stars try to perform as much of the stunts themselves, directors will call on stunt doubles instead of actors for most action scenes.
The key to making believable action scenes is to have a stunt double that closely resembles the actor. That isn’t always easy but the following 23 actors and stunt doubles are believable.
