Johnny Tri Nguyen | Nguyen Chanh Minh Tri (Johnny Tri Nguyen | Nguyen Chanh Minh Tri), a popular actor, fighter, double and stuntman, was born on February 16, 1974 in Binh Duong Province in South Vietnam. At the age of eight, he, along with his parents (Vietnamese father, Chinese mother) and older brother and sister, moved from Vietnam to Los Angeles, California.

With a deep love for Hong Kong films, Johnny soon began training in martial arts and now has over 18 years of training in Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Aikido, Vietnamese Vovinam and a style called Lien Feng Kwon, invented by his grandfather. . Nguyen is also a Wushu expert (former member of Team America), which he has been practicing for over 10 years, and has a gold medal from the Pan America Championship in his collection.

Despite his wide range of skills, activities and hobbies, Johnny Nguyen is primarily known for his acting in martial arts films. It just so happens that his family has close ties to the Vietnamese film industry: his uncle Nguyen Chanh Tin is a legendary Vietnamese actor, and his older brother Charlie Nguyen was the director of the recent hit “The Rebel”, which , without a doubt, can be included in the list of his most successful films, along with the Thai “Protector” (Tom Yum Goong) and the action movie “Cradle 2 the Grave” with Jet Li and Mark Dacascos.

An excellent stuntman, he landed a stunt double for the Green Goblin in Spider-Man (2002), as well as a stunt double for the title character in the sequel, Spider-Man 2 (2004). For his fight in the first film, he was nominated in 2003 for the most prestigious award in the stunt world - the Taurus Award.

His other famous works include stunts in the TV series “Mortal Kombat: Conquest” and roles in the action films “Power Kids | 5 huajai hero” and "Clash" (The Clash | Bay Rong). According to rumors, Johnny Nguyen, after divorcing his wife Katie Viet Thi, who has two daughters from him, began dating the actress Ngo Thanh Van, his partner on the set of the films “Rebel” and “Clash”.
