Elizabeth Banks

Many of Elizabeth Banks’ roles haven’t required her to have a stunt double. Her regular appearances in the Pitch Perfect film series and Scrubs were more reliant on comedy than impressive stunts. However, some of her roles have demanded Banks work up a sweat, including on 2017 superhero film Power Rangers. While shooting the movie, she enlisted the help of a stunt double for her portrayal of Rita Repulsa. Thankfully, because of the character design, it was hard to notice differences between the two.

You’d probably take one look at Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and assume he doesn’t need a stunt double. The man is a mountain, and he could probably easily deal with any action sequences that came his way. However, no-one behind the scenes wants to risk him getting hurt, so they make sure to always have a double on set. Luckily for Johnson, the man that fills in for him is someone he knows pretty well. It’s his cousin, Tanoai Reed! You can see the family resemblance.
