When it comes to the stars in China's film and television circle, we will think of Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing, etc. for the first time, but fans who like foreign blockbusters will think of Shange Winton, Tyson, Stallone and so on.
Today we want to talk about the protagonist of the story, he is also a unique star in the foreign action film industry, but he is low-key, almost half a lifetime of supporting roles, but not Ming has been a blockbuster, only one work, let the action fans look at him with admiration, he is the British star - Scott. Akins.
Akins
In 1976, Arkins was born in England to an ordinary family that was close to the "poor", and at the age of 10, under the leadership of his father and brother, Akins came to england judo clubs to study.
Prior to this, the Hong Kong star Bruce Lee had been dead for many years, but Akins had admired this kung fu superstar since childhood, dreaming of becoming a fighting master like him one day.
In addition to Bruce Lee, Belgian martial arts superstar Shange Winton was also listed as the ultimate idol by Arkins.
In order to be closer to the two idols, after coming to the club, Akins practiced very hard, facing a variety of high-intensity training every day, he never said bitter at a young age.
In 1990, at the age of 14, Arkins had already practiced judo kung fu to the fullest, but in order to better improve his strength, he switched to T.A.G.B. Hard practice taekwondo.
He then moved on to Anthony Jones to practice Kickboxing.

The so-called "kick boxing", if divided according to the technical system, is mainly divided into American and Japanese two, the American style is more domineering and spicy, once recommended by Joe Lewis; and the Japanese kick boxing technology system is more advanced in the combination of fist and leg.

Since learning martial arts at 10, Akins has been moving toward his dreams step by step, but the reality is cruel after all.
At the age of 21, he entered the Weber Douglas School of Drama, and the distance between him and his idols became closer and closer, but he had to give up his studies early because of the embarrassing situation at home.
Although he did not graduate from drama school, Akins still met the "nobleman" in his life, he was the main leader of the Hong Kong StuntMan Association, Dong Wei, and at the same time, Dong Wei was also an influential action director.
What really brought him into the show business was the British and Hong Kong film expert Bellogen. Since then, this 180cm tall British man has slowly entered the audience's sight.
In 2001, in the action movie "The Strongest on the Ground" directed by Dong Wei, Akins won a very inconspicuous small role, and with a high sense of responsibility and excellent performance in the film, he was highly appreciated by Dong Wei, and since then he has gained more opportunities to appear on camera.

After dedicating his film debut, Akins won the opportunity to cooperate with "The First Martial Finger of the Chinese" Yuan Heping, well-known directors Yuan Kui, kung fu superstars Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and so on.

Immediately after, in the kung fu movie "Secret Agent Maze", Arkins and Jackie Chan staged a very wonderful fight scene.

In the 2002 action film "Black Man 2" directed by Xu Ke and starring An Zhijie, Akins played a killer, and the elegance of the action was breathtaking and addictive.

In many of the works starring Akins, since his debut, most of them have played some supporting roles, and the popularity has not been well opened, which is undoubtedly very humiliating for an actor. In particular, it is regrettable that a martial artist like Arkins, who has a unique skill, is even more regrettable.

In April 2006, Arkins finally ushered in the spring of his acting career. In the film "Ultimate Fighter 2" directed by Isaac Florentin, he appears as the main villain "Russian prisoner Yuri Boyka", although it is a villain, it is his first time to play the main role, and the role is many times more than before.

In this bloody fighting movie, Arkins really entered the audience's attention with his super martial arts and superb acting skills, and at the same time, won the attention of fighting fans around the world.
Since the popularity of "Ultimate Fight 2", Akins has also opened the popular mode since then, and he has been playing continuously, starring in the blockbuster "Spy Movie 3"; in 2018, he co-starred with idol Shange Winton in the action movie "Loyalty to Duty: Border Patrol", in which he played a special forces veteran drug lord Karp, and in the same year, he participated in the horror film "Bachelor Party" and played Carl in the film.
In childhood, Bruce Lee and Shang Ge Yun Dun were set as the ultimate idols, Bruce Lee had long passed away pure helplessly, can also cooperate with Shang Ge Yun Dun, along the way, The efforts made by Akins are unexpected by ordinary people, and can be written into an inspirational novel.
In 2009, Arkins starred in the film New York Action directed by isaac Florentin, playing a Japanese ninja in the film, followed by a "sword wait" in the prequel to the X-Men series, Wolverine.

I have to say that the deepest impression that Arkins left on everyone is naturally the "Boxer Yuri" in the "Ultimate Fighter" series of movies, from the peak boxer in "Ultimate Fighter 2" to the declining "sweeper" in "Ultimate Fighter 3: Atonement", and then re-entered the peak of the boxing world through precipitation and hard work, and finally obtained "freedom".
The troubled life of "Boyka" in the movie is the same as Akins, completing the counterattack step by step, and finally moving towards glory.

In July of the same year, Arkins starred in the movie "Killing Championship", in October, starred in the TV series "Heavy Metal Chronicles", playing a gladiator; in 2011, he co-starred with idol Shange Winton in the action film "Assassination Game".

Since his debut, Arkins has been very serious about each role, achieving "meticulousness"; in addition, he originally had a handsome appearance, a strong and healthy physique, and a healthy movement, and a wide range of plays, both good and evil, can interpret the role well.

The camera is full of sense, real kung fu, and at the same time, it can also take care of the cool. Other things, whether it's a few lines from "Hunt for Osama bin Laden" or the depression of Being quickly killed by Jason Sentinson in Daredevil 2.
