Probably.

To do this, you might try contacting the Screen Actors Guild for information (see contact information below). You may also want to consider contacting a professional clearance service.
How do I handle stunt performers?
You should attempt to identify each stunt performer featured in the clip or still that you want to use. If you are unable to identify a particular stunt performer, you might try contacting the stunt coordinator for the film, Stunt coordinators can often be located through the Screen Actors Guild (see below) or via the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com). SAG will assist you with obtaining payment information for the featured stunt performer and advise you on the appropriate SAG scale payment.

No. To license music from a clip, please contact Jaime Cyr of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Music Catalog Development Division (see below).
