Bonus Bana on the Set of Star Trek
Where once Star Trek episodes had philosophical discussions about the meaning of life, the pressures of rule, and tense diplomatic debates, it has now swung more toward action and adventure. Eric Bana plays Nero, a member of the Romulans who turns mad and alters the universe so much that we have an entirely new set of events to play with.
Nero spends most of his time aboard his huge, daunting ship, but he still gets plenty of action, which means he needs a stunt double like Paul Lacovara, who does a pretty good job of looking just like the actor.
Plenty of Villains to Go Around
As one of the newer stars on this list, Isabella Pappas is probably still getting used to the idea of having a stunt double. She's the lead of “The Villains of Valley View,” and she's pictured here goofing off with her stand-in, Taylor Krasne. We've literally never heard of either the show or Isabella Pappas, so we have no idea which is which.
It's a comedy television series on the Disney channel, and it follows a family that are all superpowered villains – they have to go on the run when one of them, Pappas's character, stands up to the head of the league of villains.
Wonderful Women Together Forever
Gal Gadot has made a big name for herself thanks to her time as Wonder Woman in the updated DC Comics movies, but she has plenty of people to thank for helping her join the ranks of famous superheroines. One of them is her stunt double, a woman by the name of Christiaan Bettridge.
Gadot has plenty to say about the woman that helped her get through a couple of intense movies without getting injured, and is incredibly grateful, as we can see from this image. Gadot doesn't even mind that Bettridge has a bunch of black dots all over her face.
Good Times at the Sauna
It seems like everything needs a set of stunt doubles these days. If rom-com needs them, then of course cop shows are going to put them to good use. These two guys are Ian Anthony Dale on the right, who plays Adam Noshimuri on the revived “Hawaii Five-O” series, and his stunt double Paul Lacovara.
If the television injuries these guys are sporting are any indication, it was an intense day of shooting, but they're all smiles. After they're done here, they're going to go get their nails done.
They've Got the Kicks
When they aren't showing off their karate moves at the local dojo, Peyton List and her stunt double for “Cobra Kai,” Jahnel Curfman, like to kick back with a little bit of tough-girl antics at the local high school. Bullies beware – these girls know how to knock you out.
They have fairly similar faces, and with unique hairstyles and identical wardrobes, these two might as well be mirror images of each other, barring a slight height difference. Karate isn't the kind of thing you can just pick up for a role, so of course a stunt double is necessary.
