* WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries: Roxy Rocket, who was added to Batman's RoguesGallery in the final season of the show, was a stuntwoman who became so obsessed with seeking out dangerous stunts for the sheer thrill of it that she became uninsurable. She then turned to robberies involving dangerous escape routes, and ultimately began calling Batman to her robberies because she found she loved the thrill of trying to escape him.

** The title character, played mainly by Creator/PedroPascal, has three stunt doubles. Gunslinger Brendan Wayne (grandson of Creator/JohnWayne) specializes in shootouts and hand-to-hand combat; ''Mandalorian'' creator Creator/JonFavreau previously directed him in ''Film/CowboysAndAliens''. Martial artist Creator/LateefCrowder tackles the most physically demanding stunts and fight scenes; he previously worked with Pascal on such projects as ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle''. Barry Lowin doesn't have a specific specialty, simply doing whatever scenes neither Pascal nor Wayne could schedule. [[https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vulture.com/amp/2019/12/the-mandalorian-double-brendan-wayne-interview.html Backstage]], all of Mando's performers collaborate to keep his movement consistent. Wayne and Crowder also doubled for Pascal in ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett''.

* In ''Literature/WhoCensoredRogerRabbit'', Toons are able to create dopples, exact copies of themselves that normally last for a few minutes before crumbling into dust. Those Toons who work in the performing arts use dopples as stunt doubles - who cares if a safe is dropped on someone who will dissolve once the take is over anyway?

There are also non-stunt doubles -- for instance, the anonymous girl who played the back of Creator/PattyDuke's head in ''Series/ThePattyDukeShow'' whenever the cousins needed to be in the same shot together. Non-stunt doubles are usually called stand-ins or body doubles, and are also used to block and light scenes when the main actors are busy elsewhere. The TalentDouble appears in instances where the required action is simply too difficult for the actor: complicated ice-skating or dancing, for instance.

* In the video for Music/FatboySlim's song "Weapon of Choice", Creator/ChristopherWalken does most of his own dancing (he actually trained as a tap dancer early in his career), but the flips, the more strenuous jumps and at least some of the [[WireFu wire work]] was done by a stunt double who was thinner and hadn't gone gray yet. It's filmed, edited and choreographed quite cleverly to disguise it, but it becomes obvious once you know what to look for. The 4K remaster released in 2021 also makes it easier to see when the double's face is blurred.
** Fatboy Slim himself was supposed to do the wire work, but his wife went into labour the same weekend the video was filmed.
