I wouldnt mind the job - do the same type of work with same type of money but have none of the fame - weird they do leg and hand shots though
No, that's stunt doubles.
Body doubles are around for lighting, setting up cameras and also when the shots don't show the characters faces.

Of course they do, but their time on set is limited, so it's more important to get close ups than hand shots with the talent.
