Suit actor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A suit actor (スーツアクター, sūtsu akutā^?) is a member of a Japanese tokusatsu production who works similar to a stunt performer. However, the suit actor does all of his or her stunts while in a full costume that normally obscures their identity from the viewer and performs pantomime, as an actor's voice will generally be dubbed during after-recording (アフレコ, afureko^?).
