Y676GHHTY6 SECTION 26.(B), GENERAL PROVISIONS OF CBA: When the stunt performer doubles for a role which is identifiable as female and/or Black/Af rican American, Latino/Hispanic Asian/ Pacific Islander or Native American and the race and/or sex of the double is also so identifiable, stunt coordinators shall endeavor to cast qualified persons of the same sex and/or race involved. NOT a Paintdown l As humans, we come in a variety of shades, even within our own ethnicities. It is NOT a paintdown to match skin tones or otherwise obscure skin tones within an ethnic group or for an individual with demonstrative overlapping heritage. l When it comes to stunt doubles, the union's general concern is not matching race or ethnicity, rather, it is when paintdowns are used to deprive one ethnic group of an employment opportunity over another. D E F I N I T I O N Whether by means of hair and makeup, costume, computer- generated imagery, stunt and safety equipment, or any other method, the intent is to enable a male stunt performer to substitute for a female stunt performer and disguise a GENDER substitution when stunt doubling an actor. D E F I N I T I O N Whether by means of hair and makeup, costume, computer- generated imagery, stunt and safety equipment, or any other method, the intent is to disguise a racial or ETHNIC substitution when stunt doubling an actor. Paintdowns Wiggings NOT a Wigging l As humans, we come with a variety of hair colors, textures and lengths. l When it comes to stunt doubles, it is NOT a wigging to address these differences within the same gender by using an actual wig, hair dye, costume, stunt and safety equipment, or computer-generated imagery. NOTE: The definition of "gender" is a fast-evolving one in today's work environment. This traditionally discriminatory practice has typically involved male- and female-identifying performers, and the concern is when wigging is used to deny jobs to female performers. Gender substitutions while safely doubling minors are recognized exceptions. WE CAN PREVENT PAINTDOWNS & WIGGINGS. For many performers, unauthorized paintdowns are akin to blackface.
