Ski stunt double & sports action performer for film and commercials.
For producers, casting directors —
and directors.
When your shoot calls for real sports action, you usually have two problems to solve: a model who works on camera — and a double who can actually ride, ski or fall. I am both in one person. That saves a second team, avoids visible breaks between double and actor, and simplifies your production planning.

SIDE BY SIDE
The double, next to the actor.
Drag the slider. On the left the actor, on the right me in the identical wardrobe — same build, same posture, same riding style. This is what a production books when the face has to match across the cut.

What I perform.
SPORT STUNTS
Skiing, kitesurfing, paragliding
Skiing, kitesurfing, paragliding, mountain biking, wakeboarding — and more. Ridden at a level that holds up in a close-up, take after take.
MECHANICAL STUNTS
High falls, rigging, ratchet
High falls, rigging on tension wires, wire stunts and ratchet pulls — always with a rigger, a rehearsed sequence and a briefed abort signal.
CRASHES
Tripping, falling, high siders
Tripping, falling, gainer falls, high siders and face offs — falls that have to look uncontrolled and be completely controlled.

WHAT I CAN DO
Which sport I ride — and at what level.
Sport isn’t a prop for me. So I’d rather be honest and precise about it — from the disciplines where I’ve raced competitively to the ones where I’m simply solid.

FAQ
What is the difference between a stunt double, sports double and body double?
A body double replaces an actor visually, a sports double performs athletic scenes at a high level, a stunt double takes on the risky action. In practice the lines blur — I am usually booked as a combination: athletic action with an element of risk that also cuts close to the face.
Can one performer do both the acting close-ups and the action shots?
Yes — that is exactly my core offer. The production gets action footage and advertising-grade close-ups without recasting. On the Bitburger spot, that replaced three doubles.
How do productions find a ski double who matches the lead actor?
Through build, height, hair colour and riding style. At 181 cm with an athletic build I double many male leads; helmet, goggles and wardrobe close the gap. The riding style has to fit the character — elegant, aggressive or insecure can all be skied.
What does it cost to hire a sports or stunt double for a commercial?
A day rate plus a usage buyout depending on channel, territory and term — and for stunts an additional fee per performance based on risk classification. Send me the key facts and you get a transparent, itemised offer.
Does a commercial with sports scenes need stunt coordination?
With real risk: yes. For manageable action I can cover parts of it myself — on the Bitburger shoot I took on partial stunt coordination. If something is beyond that, I say so in advance, not on shoot day.
How quickly are you available?
I usually reply within 24 hours. Located between Munich and Salzburg, I reach alpine locations fast when a short weather or snow window opens.
