John Travolta | The Forger

To ensure the actors’ safety, filmmakers and studio executives often spend portions of their investment money on stunt doubles. Although they sometimes don’t bear any resemblance, doubles almost always share the same build as the actors they’re assigned to. Besides appearances, however, these stunt doubles also study their actor’s movements. That way, they can have close-to-identical performances that can convince audiences that the actors themselves did it. Well, for this, let’s take a look at one of John Travolta’s doubles.

Through the years, the actor has starred in numerous films, including Grease, Pulp Fiction, Face/Off, and The Taking of Pelham 123. With that said, the actor is no stranger to working alongside stunt doubles. Well, as shown here, Travolta and his stunt double don’t bear that much of a resemblance. Even so, the two undoubtedly share the same build, so it’s safe to say they only film the stand-in from the neck down.
