It isn’t easy to be an actor or actress especially for action filled movies or television series. Stunt doubles won’t always be the ones doing the physically taxing scenes for the actors. Krysten Ritter, while playing the role of Jessica Jones on Netflix’s Marvel series of the same name, has first hand experience with the emotional and physical difficulties and challenges these kinds of shows would involve. While filming a scene for the 2nd season of the show she got punched on the chin and she thought she bit her tongue off. In an interview with Vulture, Ritter said “A guy went to push me or pick me up and I got his shoulder under my jaw and I totally saw stars. What really [messed] me up was the blood, because I had bit my tongue so bad that I thought it was worse than it was,” she continued her statement with, “Your tongue heals really fast. You couldn’t see it, there was no damage to my face, so I kept working.”
It’s a good thing that she was willing to take the punches and finished up to the 3rd season of the show.
