She might get a lot of attention for her looks, but Megan Fox is just as capable an actress as she is a gorgeous model. Her work in the Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films have shown that, with Fox unafraid to take on roles a little more action-oriented. Of course, with that decision comes the need to perform stunts. Fortunately, Fox had Stacey Carino and Maria Papathanasiou to rely on for that. The latter is pictured here on the set of TMNT.

Karen Gillan’s come a long way in the last decade. Before being cast as the main companion during the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who, she was just a young Scottish actress hoping for her big break. Now, she’s had roles in big hits like Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers, and Jumanji, all of which required her to be stunt-ready. This was so crucial while filming Jumanji that Gillan enlisted two women to help with the role, both of whom pulled off her look expertly.
