Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in stunt performer jobs.
- Demonstrated experience performing stunts on professional film or television sets
- Proficiency in one or more martial arts, gymnastics, or aerial disciplines
- Valid SAG-AFTRA membership or eligibility to join the union
- Ability to perform high falls, precision driving, or wire work as specified by production
- Current CPR and first aid certification and knowledge of on-set safety protocols
- Physical conditioning that meets role-specific requirements including strength, agility, and flexibility
Tips for Your Stunt Performer Job Search
List every physical discipline you train in
Your resume should itemize martial arts styles, gymnastics levels, equestrian experience, and vehicle types you can operate. Casting directors and stunt coordinators scan for specific disciplines, not vague mentions of athleticism or physical fitness.
Get your SAG-AFTRA status in order
Many union productions require or strongly prefer SAG-AFTRA membership. Know your current union status before applying and list it prominently on your resume so coordinators don't have to ask during the first call.
Build a demo reel that shows controlled falls
Your reel should demonstrate technical precision, not just action volume. Include camera-facing shots of high falls, wire work, or fight sequences with clean editing so coordinators can judge technique without having to imagine the angles.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists stunt performer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target productions by their stunt intensity
Action features and streaming series with dedicated stunt budgets hire more frequently than romantic comedies or procedural dramas. Search job listings by production company type or genre to focus your time on postings where stunt performers are central, not incidental.
Prepare a physical skills test for callbacks
Many stunt coordinator interviews end with a practical audition, not just a conversation. Know which disciplines you'll be asked to demonstrate live and confirm in advance whether the facility requires proof of your own liability insurance before you arrive.
Stunt Performer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most stunt performers?
The most active employers for stunt performers right now are Montgomery County Public Schools, MD, Polymarket, and Bradley University, and the most openings are in Maryland, Illinois, and Missouri, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Production volume and active shooting schedules drive hiring patterns, so availability shifts frequently.
How do you become a stunt performer?
Start by training seriously in at least one base discipline, such as gymnastics, martial arts, or competitive driving, to a performance level. Build credits by working as a background performer or utility stunt player on non-union productions to get on-set experience. Connect with working stunt coordinators through professional networking, assemble a reel from your early credits, and pursue SAG-AFTRA eligibility as your credits accumulate.
Can you get hired as a stunt performer with little experience?
Yes, entry-level stunt work is accessible if you have a highly specialized physical skill that a production needs and cannot easily find. Competitive gymnasts, trained martial artists, and licensed motorcycle racers often break in by being the specific athlete a coordinator is looking for, rather than by having a long stunt resume. Starting on non-union student or independent productions helps you build footage before pursuing union work.
What does the stunt performer interview process look like?
The process typically begins with a coordinator reviewing your reel and resume, followed by a brief phone or video call to confirm your physical skills and availability for the production schedule. If your background fits, you may be invited to a practical audition where you demonstrate specific techniques in person. Final booking decisions are usually made quickly once the coordinator confirms you can safely execute what the script requires.
Where can I find and apply to stunt performer jobs?
You can find and apply to stunt performer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Find the roles that fit your discipline and experience level, then apply directly to each listing to get your materials in front of the production team.
