Best Answer

There are stunt doubles in movies sot the actors aren't injured.

If an actor is injured and can't act, then the filming must stop until they are well. In the meantime, the other actors and the rest of the crew are being paid to sit around and wait. That is cost prohibitive.

If a double is injured filming can continue with a different double.

Additionally, depending on the actor/actress' star power, some insurance companies just flat refuse to allow them to take risks and maintain their insurance. The stars insure themselves against loss of future earnings. Paying Brad Pitt for all the earnings he would miss due to paralysis, for example, for the rest of his predicted life expectancy, would be a huge chunk of change.

they do things like flips, fighting scenes and other dangerous stuff that actors can't or aren't allowed to do.
