What are the odds of my becoming a stunt person?

Peter Hassall Stunt Site
To be honest, not good. I've heard that every year something like 10,000 people attempt to break into the Los Angeles stunt industry. Currently there are about 600 people in the Los Angeles stunt industry - between 10 and 20% are women. About 200 make a full time living from it; the rest have real jobs and supplement their incomes doing occasional stunts. These figures are only approximate but they give an idea of the odds stacked against anybody - no matter how skilled. See similar questions...

What is the difference between a daredevil and a stunt person?

Peter Hassall Stunt Site
This is one question guaranteed to cause controversy. Although the distinction can often be blurred, daredevils are generally accepted as taking more risks and being involved in live shows. Thus, Evel Knievel = Daredevil, person doing a motorbike stunt for a movie or TV show = Stuntperson. In real life, the answer is not so simple. Also, a daredevil has to take every possible precaution and train hard or they'll die young. I also have the greatest respect for live show performers/daredevils. See similar questions...

How should a person prepare for a career as an author?

FAQ About Sylvia Engdahl and Her Science Fiction Novels
By acquiring other skills with which to earn a living. You can't plan to support yourself by writing novels; very few authors earn enough to do so, and in all but rare cases it happens only after they've had many years of experience. The vast majority have some other means of support, either a job or the income of a spouse. This is not a bad thing, because a writer needs to gain experience in living, in active involvement with the world; otherwise he or she would have little to say to readers. See similar questions...

I live in the U.S.A., how do I break into the film/TV industry as a stunt person?

Peter Hassall Stunt Site
There is no legal requirement for a stunt person to have qualifications. Realistically, no reputable producer or director will hire untested, new stunt talent - so the best way to try and break into the business is to work your way up from the bottom. The major hurdle is getting a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) union card to be allowed to work on film/TV productions (except for non union ones which can be dodgy). Competition is fierce. The American Stunt Page has some information. See similar questions...
