Julia Elizabeth:
From Gymnast to Stuntwoman
Julia Elizabeth is a 25 year old Stunt Woman! She has had dreams of being in the film industry since she was a kid. She grew up loving gymnastics and competed through Level 10 in Northern California. Julia decided to pursue acting in college and found that she had a knack for stage movement and stage combat. After discovering her interest in fighting, love for being upside down, and remembering her gymnastics background, being a Stunt Woman was a perfect fit. She has been set on fire, tied up on wires, and has fallen from 50ft. Since her love for stunts has developed, she has been in mostly Live Action stunt shows, such as Cirque du Soleil’s, R.U.N. Working for Cirque du Soleil has been the highlight of Julia's career so far, but now she's back in LA, jumping right back into film. Julia is excited to continue her momentum in Hollywood and hopes to be a stunt performer in some of your favorite films!
