Member AlbertV Posted July 14, 2021 Member Share Posted July 14, 2021 Born on May 12, 1961 in Newport, Kentucky, Jerry Trimble would be one of the premier kickboxers of the 1980s with his amazing kicking skills. The "Golden Boy" as he was called was one of the fastest kickers in the sport and unsurprisingly, his style is Tae Kwon Do, which he started at the age of 14, earning his 1st-degree black belt one year later. His kickboxing career began at the age of 18, winning the Kentucky State Championship before moving to Atlanta, where he became the PKA and PKC World Champion in the mid-1980s. In 1989, Jerry shot his first film, The Master, which starred a young Jet Li. Jerry played the villain of the film but the film was shelved for three years, being released in 1992 after the success of Once Upon a Time in China. Trimble's official film debut would be that of King of the Kickboxers, where he played a drug dealer who gets his from Loren Avedon's undercover cop in a NYC warehouse. A few years later, Trimble would sign a contract with Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures and take the lead in a series of films, starting with the Bloodfist remake Full Contact, followed by Live by the Fist, One Man Army, and Stranglehold, ending his contract in 1994. He would go on to make himself a viable actor with an appearance in Heat opposite Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Jerry has had his share of action and non-action roles throughout the years after. He gets to strut his stuff in Charlie's Angels (he was one of the group who fights a tied-up Drew Barrymore) and The Package, where he fought "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. He spends his time between Los Angeles and Vancouver, along with his wife, Ami Dolenz (the daughter of The Monkees' Mickey Dolenz), who he has been married since 2002. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely forgot about re-posting the min-bio I did for Mr Trimble. It was deleted/lost with a few other threads in this sub forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
