Member DragonClaws Posted February 22, 2021 Member Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Mini Biography & Filmography Quote I was actually competing in USA when I got spotted for a film, on returning to UK after the film project (which was a Sci -Fi, no martial arts at all) I got the indie film bug, and it was then I realised to my amazement there was so much going on back here with stunt fighting in martial art UK productions. - Zara Pythian The 13 time World Martial Arts champion Zara Phythian, was born on the 10th of May 1984.

You just think, the films were made in the 70’s yet he still commands that tingle down your spine when he is on screen. Jet Li is also a hero of mine, but to be honest I love most martial art movies, USA, HK, Europe etc, Cynthia Rothrock I’m a big admirer of too, I still think she’s the queen of martial arts ha-ha. - Zara Pythian The actress, award winning business woman and Martial Artist continues to find work in commercials, motion capture, music videos, T.V & Film.

Aside from Accident Man 2, my guess is since this was listed as filming, they're gonna re-cast that role as well. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10007208/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
