Stand-in for actors in dangerous scenes (8)

I believe the answer is:

stuntman

(Other definitions for stuntman that I've seen before include "one with special role in film" , "Movie extra who performs dangerous feats" , "Performer of dangerous acts in films etc" , "Double for a film's dangerous scenes" , "Someone paid to act dangerously" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
