Robert P. Orrison (July 28, 1928 – October 11, 2014)[1] was an American film and television stunt performer.

He was the stunt double for actor Audie Murphy for many films and did stunt work in John Wayne movies such as The Undefeated and Chisum. He also performed stunts in such films as The Wild Bunch, Smokey and the Bandit, Rambo III, Days of Thunder, Die Hard 2, and Speed. For television, he worked on the original Star Trek series doubling for Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley on several occasions.[2] He was the primary stunt driver of the General Lee car on The Dukes of Hazzard, and doubled for George Peppard in stunts performed for The A-Team.
