Michele Waitman has been a Cast Member at Walt Disney World for 35 years! She joined the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular right after the show opened in in 1989 and is still in the show! Michele trained under Glenn Randal Jr, the Stunt Coordinator for Raiders of the Lost Ark and it was that amazing training that made her movie and television career take off. She went on to earn her SAG card in 1994 with John Zimmerman as her stunt coordinator.
Michele was the Stunt Double for Sarah Michelle Gellar on Buffy the Vampire Slayer from 1999-2003. She also doubled Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Amy Ryan, Melissa Joan Hart, Jennifer Aniston, and many others. She continues to work as a film stuntwoman and is now also a stunt coordinator.
In her bag of tricks, Michele does helicopter work and precision car and motorcycle driving. She roller blades, water and snow skis, rides horses and is scuba certified. She does gymnastics, aerial circus work, high falls, stair falls, diving, and teeterboard. She also does fighting, martial arts, and works with weapons…and if Scott messes up this interview, he fears she’s going to kill him! ;)
We know you're gonna fall head over heels in love with her. Enjoy Scott's chat with the spectacular Michele Waitman!
