Dacoscos eventually used his skills to act in action movies. He was Giyera (Filipino for “war”) in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Kung Lao in the web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy, and as the Crying Freeman.

Dacascos is also known as “Iron Chef’s” Chairman in the American and Australian series, where chefs battle it out for the title.

The actor-martial artist’s performance in “Brotherhood of the Wolf” (2001) earned critical praise and a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Saturn Awards.

“John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum” will be premiered on May 17.
