CASTING CALL FOR STUNT PERFORMERS

Jigsaw Casting is seeking stunt performers for a non-union commercial production shooting in Toronto. This role places performers in front of camera in a harness-rigged stunt sequence, requiring both physical execution and on-camera performance as the core deliverable. It suits trained athletes and stunt-experienced performers who are equally comfortable with physical discipline and screen presence.

About the Role

This is a stunt performance role for a commercial production, placing you within a stunt-coordinated shoot environment where safety rigging and camera coverage are tightly choreographed. Performers will be working in harness on a high-energy run sequence, so the production workflow here sits at the intersection of stunt coordination and on-camera performance. Shoot dates are August 9 or 10, 2026, and submissions close Thursday, July 23rd, 2026.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute a high-energy, sustained running sequence on camera while rigged in a stunt harness under the direction of the stunt coordinator.
• Deliver a performance that communicates pride, joy, and physical confidence at the point of camera, maintaining tone that reads as fun and playful on screen.
• Complete physically demanding sequences, including full-exertion burpee sets, while maintaining composure and performance quality for camera.
• Work within a commercial production stunt unit, following all on-set safety protocols specific to rigged and aerial stunt work.
• Bring verified background in at least one relevant discipline, whether wirework, aerial acrobatics, parkour, circus arts, rock climbing, trapeze, or a comparable athletic stunt field.
• Submit a self-tape and stunt reel as part of the casting process, demonstrating both physical ability and screen performance.

What You Bring

• Camera age of mid-20s, with men and women both considered for this stunt performance casting.
• Hands-on experience in harness and rigging work, either through professional stunt training or a directly related athletic discipline.
• A stunt reel or documented footage demonstrating your range across aerial, parkour, or performance-based athletic work.
• High stamina and cardiovascular conditioning, as the role demands extended physical exertion without recovery time between takes.
• Non-union status, as this is a non-union commercial production.
