Adrienne Wilkinson. Alliance Atlantis Communications Dir. Godbout Entertainment Dir. I love acting. And if there's a niche that needs filling, I'm happy to get in there and try to fill it. Humans sort of instinctively respond negatively to something that's not true. I'm certainly not on a mission to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress, any more than I am just to be able to get roles that are exciting and satisfying to me. If that means action, then that means action.

A couple years in [to acting], I recognized that I developed methods from being a stuntwoman for so long that worked for me that I wasn't aware of. And I had to become aware of them, because I didn't recognize that I could actually apply them across the board. I love the idea of doing comedy, whether it's action comedy or just straight comedy. It's such a big, new world for me that I'm starting to realize that any character that I relate to, in any way, shape or form, or that I have any appreciation for, given enough preparation, I can find that person.

Feeling fear is a good sign that your survival instincts are intact. You need to appreciate the dangers to stay safe. When being a stunt double, my job has always a supportive role, which is interesting, really. Part of what I really like about it is making a situation where people can just come out of their shell and be super bad-ass.

That's exciting! In my career as a double, a lot of my job is to not just do the fights to make them look cool, but also to appear as the same person as the actor I am playing.

I would find it more difficult if somebody else was doing the action. I think because I am a physical person, and because my way of expressing and performing and storytelling or explaining has always been with my body, if I can combine the two I find it really liberating. What really sells a fight, and any kind of action, is the performance of it. If someone is uncomfortable or uncertain about doing action because they're too concerned about their safety or about being right, it pulls them out of being that character, in that situation.

Being a stunt girl is very much my comfort zone, so I had to remove the comfort zone to step fully into the slightly scarier zone. Also, just being perceived as an actor by the outside world, rather than as the stunt girl who does dialogue, has been a part of the challenge in front of me.

The physical element of a role is something I'm super familiar with, and I love it. Death Proof Stunts. Once Upon a Time In Hollywood Stunts. Show all Hide all Show by Hide Show Stunts 29 credits. In Hollywood stunt coordinator. Show all 66 episodes. Hide Show Actress 41 credits.

Her most notable stunt in Death Proof occurs when she hangs onto the hood of a speeding Dodge Challenger. In , the documentary Double Dare was released. It focused primarily on Bell and veteran stuntwoman Jeannie Epper , as it followed them during their travails in Hollywood.

The film presented a view of opposing ends of the stuntwoman spectrum, with the aging Epper continuing her search for work in an industry where age is not necessarily considered an asset and Bell, then a Hollywood newcomer, trying to break into the industry.

Her Best High Work nomination was for a fall of over feet in the film Catwoman In August , Bell confirmed she had signed on to play the lead role in a film about an American soldier who, upon returning to the US from a tour of duty in Iraq, helps a young girl in trouble.
