Tokyo-based action actor Chuck Johnson was recently featured on an episode of a TV show being produced in Thailand called "The Art of Fighting" by Robert Clyne, who also produced a show called "Fight! Japan". In it he covers some of the not-so-subtle differences between real martial arts and theatrical combat, bad experiences in Japan, and good experiences with his action training team.

In addition to various TV and film roles as bodyguards, he also played "Muscleman" (the guy with the gigantic sword) in Yuji Shimomura's Death Trance and recently co-starred with Asami in the yet-unreleased Yakuza Hunter parts 2 and 3.

Check out Chuck's official website for more info on his career.
