Actors and their stunt doubles

The understudy is the second performer of the role of the actor. The understudy can replace the artist in case of illness or inability to play an episode. The stunt double can play a certain skill that the actor does not possess. Sometimes understudies performed scenes of an intimate nature for the actors. There are a lot of examples of why an understudy is needed. Let's take a look at famous actors alongside their stunt doubles.
