Why did filmmakers start using stunt performers?

A stun performer, also called stuntman or stuntwoman, is the person who does the dangerous stunts when making a filmor TV programme. Stunt performers have to jump out of cars, set themselves on fire, fall out of helicopters, anything that is considered too dangerous for actors.

In the early days, cinemar actors such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin did most of their stunts. These were often very dangerous and the actors weren't as fit and strong as actors today. However, filmmakers quickly realised how dangerous this was and began using stunt performers so that nothing happened to their leading actors.

Often, it is important for the stunt performer and the actor of the scene to look alike. These are called stunt doubles and they can work with actors for decades on a variety of films. Most action film actors use stunt doubles, though some are known to do a few of their own stunts. Tom Cruise performed many stunts in Mission: Impossible films and Viggo Mortenson who played Arogorn in the Lord of the Rings films played all of his own action scenes, including fighting withb a sword. He was injured a few times but luckily not too seriously.

There are some stars who are famous for being both actors and stunt performers. Jacki Chan has made over 100 films performing some incredible stunts. He is famous for making sure scenes are perfect and once it took 2900 takes to get one scene just right. Over the years Chan has had many injuries and broken most of his bones on various occasions. Other stunt performers are not as lucky. The Indian action film actor Jayan was a legend in India and was also famous for performing all of his own stunts.In 1980 he died during a stunt where he was hanging from a helicopter that crashed.

Surprisingly, stunt performing is as popular as ever with many people wanting to get into it. However, with the development of computer graphics or CGI, filmmakers can produce virtual scenes by using computers. CGI appears in almost all films nowadays and it is becoming easier to create and cheaper, meaning the demand for stunt performers is less. Many filmmakers disagree with this and believe there will always be a place for stunt performers. People will always react better when they see an actual person performing stunts.
