Maisie Williams
One example is Maisie Williams, a Game of Thrones star who required a stunt actor. Throughout the series, Williams’ character developed into quite a combatant and was frequently involved in battles. As a result, producers had to look for an experienced and skilled stunt double.
The producers couldn’t have an underage stunt double performing fight and action-packed sequences, so they didn’t choose a young actress to play Maisie. When selecting Kristina Baskett, however, they made the correct decision: she does resemble Maisie.
