    There is something you said Grace, that was so beautiful and considerate: "Because Asia has such a wanderful film industry itself..." Plus, admite that Hollywood not always make good films set in Asia. This shows how humble and respectful you are toward other cultures. Bravo! Some reviewers should be less egocentric and learn from this interview.

    I honestly could listen to him talk for hours about his craft and background but can't seem to find long interviews except for his Bruce Lee podcast and the Tribute one. I'm soo hyped for Bullet Train knowing Hiroyuki Sanada is also in it! I still remember Koji joking about 'his father Hiroyuki Sanada' in an IG story when he watched Mortal Kombat. Kinda bummed we'll have to wait till 2023 for Warrior S3 but I hope Andrew is cast as a lead in more roles.

    A lot of great questions were asked, I got to check out this film and his Warrior project on Netflix.
    I think as a movie community we should definitely put on the Oscars radar three awards in recognition for the field of stunt work.
    Last year really doing a deep dive into action films reignited my love of action stars and stunt people and filmography.
    Their definitely needs to be three Oscars for Stuntwork:
    Best Female Stuntwork performance
    Best Male Stuntwork performance
    Best Film Stuntwork performance of the year

    Without a introduction (beginning) - "I haven't seen the film, because..." the questions, a trifle confusing:) Googled: '*written and produced his own films, and has also worked as a stunt double*' Wow!
