“There is nothing like being lit on fire. All you see is orange.”
—Jane Austin, SAG-AFTRA Secretary Treasurer and L.A. Local President
Behind every great superhero and world-class spy may be an even greater stunt performer. Whether an action-packed scene requires falling from a skyscraper or an epic battle between the forces of good and evil, it is the dedication and expertise of the stunt community that brings these death-defying — and often dangerous — feats to life.
In this episode of the SAG-AFTRA podcast, National Stunt Committee Chair Cort Hessler and veteran stunt performer SAG-AFTRA Secretary-Treasurer and L.A. Local President Jane Austin talk about the life of a stunt performer and discuss what the union is doing to ensure safe sets.
