She also shares what it’s like doubling for acclaimed performers including Meryl Streep and discusses her work on films such as The Holdovers and Sound of Metal.

Amy also weighs in on Tom Cruise performing his own stunts, the growing role of CGI and AI in filmmaking, and how opportunities for women in the stunt industry have changed over the years.
