Professional Stuntwoman for Hire.
Some people fall into stunts. Sonia Jo McDancer built a career leading them. She’s worked everything from blockbuster franchises to famous family sitcoms — doubling actresses, performing stunts, and coordinating memorable action sequences.
Sonia’s name has appeared in the credits of Planet of the Apes, Star Trek: Nemesis, Poseidon, Rush Hour 2, as well as doing stunts on the original Pirates of the Caribbean! She also worked as a stunt double for some of the biggest stars in comedy — from Bonnie Hunt in Cheaper by the Dozen to Fran Drescher in The Beautician and the Beast, and even Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Watching Ellie and The New Adventures of Old Christine.
But Sonia didn’t stop at performance. She became a go-to stunt coordinator on shows like Just Shoot Me, Sister, Sister, Moesha, and most famously, Full House, where she ran stunt work across eight seasons — handling everything from slapstick falls to practical safety on multi-cam sets.
Sonia has coordinated stunts for pilots, features, sitcoms, and more — stepping into that trusted leadership role for many fan favorites like Family Matters, The Drew Carey Show, Step by Step, Ally McBeal, Watching Ellie, and Two of a Kind. She handled all things stunts, and her coordination credits often came with the added weight of training younger actors or managing tight schedules on live sets. If folks only knew the complexity.
She’s also been the one behind the wheel, with ND driving and credited stunt driving work across network pilots and MOWs (movies of the week), where big setups had to run tight and fast, without error.
The thing about Sonia is — she made herself invaluable to the industry and her career proves it. She’s been there, she's done it all, and she still gets the call to this day.
