Big action stars like The Rock and Arnold Schwarzenegger make it seem like there’s nothing they can’t do. We constantly see them jumping off buildings and getting hit by cars, but they’re not really the ones doing the heavy lifting. Whenever things get too dangerous for them to handle, their stunt doubles are ready to step in and do the dirty work.

Hollywood studios would never put the lives of their big stars on the line, and that’s why most of them have someone to help them out when the going gets tough. Body doubles often look like carbon copies of the actors they work with, but with one minor difference – they are more athletic and prepared to rush into danger every single day. Let’s take a look at some of the unsung heroes who helped bring the most iconic action scenes in history to life.
