Rikki Gagne

Rikki Gagne is a stunt performer and actress from Campbell River, British Columbia, whose background in competitive gymnastics and sponsored snowboarding, including big air, half pipe, and slope style, helped lead her into stunt work. Her first film stunt job came on Scary Movie 3, and she went on to perform stunts in large productions such as 2012, I Robot, the Twilight series, and A-Team. She moved into acting as well, playing one of the four leads in the independent film Dead Hooker in a Trunk (2009), a shoestring-budget project for which critics praised her dramatic performance. The film's creators used El Mariachi as a model, and her contribution was credited as a major help to its success, bringing recognition as a respected acting personality.
