Johnny Tri Nguyen

Johnny Trí Nguyễn is a Vietnamese American actor, stuntman and martial arts choreographer who is mainly active in the Vietnamese film industry.\r\n\r\nBorn in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Nguyen and his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was 9. He competed as a martial artist on the U.S. national team, and then transitioned into a career as a stuntman in Hollywood, working on films such as Spider-Man 2 and Jarhead.\r\n\r\nNguyen later returned to Vietnam and starred in The Rebel, a period martial arts film released in 2007 and directed by his brother Charlie Nguyen. It was a massive success in Vietnam, garnering unprecedented attention for a locally made film. Nguyen followed The Rebel by starring in a steady stream of hit films, many of which were directed by his brother, including Clash in 2009, De Mai tinh in 2010, and Teo Em in 2013, all of which broke box office records at the time of release. In a controversial decision, Vietnamese censors banned Nguyen's 2013 action flick Bui Doi Cho Lon for its violent content.\r\n\r\nBesides his work in Vietnamese films, Nguyen has had supporting roles in major films from Thailand (Tony Jaa's Tom-Yum-Goong) and India (7aum Arivu and Irumbu Kuthirai).
