Stunt (特技) actors work in movies and television shows. They always take the real actors' places to do some dangerous actions. Circus (戏团) performers work just as hard as they could, because they also want to be the stars of the show.
Stunt actors must be strong. Many of them start doing this from martial arts (武术) and learn many other things such as horse riding and driving. Some become good at one thing, such as stunt driving. They try to make their performances look real, just like real actors do that.
Stunt actors work wherever movies or television shows are made. As we all know, Hollywood is the most famous film city of the world. And there are also other places working with movies or television shows, such as Vancouver in Canada and Queensland in Australia. Also, they often work in forests and mountains. Stunt actors left home to work for weeks or even months.
Circus life is also busy. Performers need to be strong and flexible (灵活的). Circus performers are not shy people and they enjoy being the center of the whole performance.
Many circus performers travel from town to town. They stay for a week, and then move on. And some performers even have no home. They live in large cars and go everywhere to perform. Circus families often travel together. The children perform with their parents sometimes. Circus children don't go to school. They study by the teachers' letters, or study with a teacher who travels with them.
