Unit 4 READING 2

D o you watch action movies? Do
you wonder how the actors can
do such amazing things? The answer is
easy. Usually, they don’t. Stuntmen and
stuntwomen do most of the dangerous
things in movies. Their job is largely
thankless. They do not often become
famous. They also do not make nearly as much money as actors and
actresses.

For stuntmen and stuntwomen, safety is the most important thing.
. They have to make the stunts look real, but they

don’t want anybody to get hurt. Many times, a stunt person works with a
famous actor or actress. If stunt people injure the star, they will be in a lot of
trouble. They have to go to special schools, and they must be in excellent
shape. Their job is not easy, but they are the true heroes behind any action
movie!
