Professional Stuntwoman for Hire.
Nobody else works quite like Susan Purkhiser. Four-foot-ten and fearless. If it flips, falls, or takes precision — she’s probably done it multiple times. She’s not just a Hollywood stuntwoman. She built a career doing things most people wouldn’t try once. Behind the wheel, under the hood, mid-rig, inside a creature suit — sometimes crashing clean through the set.
She’s doubled for kids, for stars, for people flying off ledges or out of vehicles. She was Charlize Theron’s driving stunt double in The Italian Job. She raced through traffic in The Bourne Ultimatum, crashed hard in Star Trek (as Young Kirk), dropped into chaos in This Means War, and performed in The 5th Wave. You’ve seen her work for sure, even if you didn’t realize it.
TV? Her resume is stacked. From bike crashes in My Name Is Earl to motorcycle drops in Sam and Cat. Speed work in Scorpion. Water gags in CSI. Hockey pads in Malcolm in the Middle. Stair falls for Henry Danger. She even drove scenes in old-school Baywatch!
Commercials? Well, she’s been in a ton, of course. Audi’s Super Bowl spot, Subaru’s blind-driving dog ad, Nintendo’s Mario Kart, plus dragster rolls, mail truck gags, and even a Cingular cheerleader crash. Ford, Hyundai, Toyota — all her.
She’s also rally-certified & track-tested. She even teaches precision driving at Bobby Ore’s Motion Picture Driving School. This isn’t demo stuff — it’s control, timing, gut reaction and talent. She’s earned two SAG Awards and is a member of the amazing Stuntwomen’s Association of Motion Pictures.
Susan is highly respected as all crews know exactly what they’re getting. She shows up, hits the mark, resets fast. Doesn’t ask for extra takes. And when the day goes sideways — she’s the calm one. That’s rare. You probably won’t spot her in frame every time. But the moment something flips just right or a crash sells like it’s real with a completed take - that’s Susan Purkhiser, making it work.
