Jean-Claude Van Damme first burst onto the Hollywood scene in 1982 as an extra in Joel Silberg’s Breakin’, following up that unitard-clad appearance with dozens of martial arts and action films including the Kickboxer series, which has been revived. Since then, the actor’s resumé has swelled to include 62 film and TV credits, but all that hard work has meant answering numerous inane questions from reporters. Van Damme’s endured the endless junkets because there will always be stiff competition out there for action stars, though the repetitiveness of the queries occasionally results in a wooden response. But the actor found himself standing at attention during a recent interview via satellite with an Australian morning show.
