I'm in drama class being taught about stunt doubles, and this comes up. Sorry if it's not realistic. I was also watching one of my two favorite kids shows involving the stunt double idea. I'm not exactly sure how the business works. Let's just pretend that this is how it works.

(Stevie)
I am finally in Los Angeles! Yes! Fame here I come! Since you're here, let me tell you about my boring journey! So first, I got coffee, then I went to get some gas- you know what? Let me just tell you why I'm even here. I'm here because I got a part in a movie! Well, I'm actually here to audition. It's about this spy who falls in love with this outsider. I'm not really sure who I'm going to play, but it's going to be awesome! Right now, I'm in at the auditions.
"Stevie Baskara." I hear the man say.
"Here!" I say and come up to him. He gives me a script, and we go into this official looking room with other people.
"Okay. Turn to page 42 and say Lulu's lines." he says. I do it.
"I'm so sorry Max. We need to do this. If we don't-"
"Stop." the man says.
"What? Why? Was I terrible?" I ask him.
"That was really good, but we already have someone in mind." he says. This wasn't so good.
"Do you have any other parts? I'll play anything!" I say. I know it was desperate, but come on. I had come all the way over here to be told I couldn't make it?
"Hmm... I like your spunk kid. To tell you what. You can be a stunt double." he says happily. Stunt double? What's a stunt double?
"Then I'll be a stunt double. Exactly what is a stunt double?" I say. So I accepted without thinking. What's the worst that can happen?
"We will take anyone for a stunt double. Okay. A stunt double is a person who takes over for an actress who does all the dangerous stuff like falling or jumping from a cliff, or something like that." he says. What?
"Sorry sir, but is there any other rolls?" I ask him.
"Please. Call me Jerry, and no. That's the only role available." he says. He reminded me of a weird father or something like that. Well, I was desperate, and it was a start.
"Fine." I say.
"Good. Here's the address where you should come, and be there at Saturday at noon." Jerry says.
"Okay, bye." I say. If I wasn't going to be an actress, and I was a stunt double, this wasn't going to be good.
