From his first performance at five-years-old, Alex Huynh knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life: bring people together, entertain audiences, and give back to this world. This drive, paired with a decorated career as a competitive martial artist (three Gold medals on the United States Wushu Team, two world titles, and two national titles in the North American Sport Karate Association tournament circuit), fueled Huynh to pursue his dreams of performing on the big screen.
After graduating from university, Huynh broke into the entertainment industry as a Hollywood stuntman. "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Entourage", and "Sherlock Holmes 2" are just some of the credits which have nurtured his growth in the stunt community. His career continued to evolve as he was invited to become a Stunt Coordinator/Fight Choreographer for projects such as the Asian Cup 2011 commercial, shot on location in Africa.
Turn on your television or watch a movie and you may catch him in action - whether it's challenging the laws of science in National Geographic Channel's "Fight Science" or exchanging some hilariously colorful dialogue with Will Smith in Columbia Pictures' "Hancock." You can find him teaching Tai Chi in NBC's "Mysteries of Laura," selling purses in Chinatown on ABC's "Manhattan Love Story," and punctuating dozens of action scenes in shows like Netflix's "Daredevil," Starz' "Power," and NBC's "Blindspot."
Inspired by influential artists such as Will Smith and Jackie Chan, Huynh continues to pursue a growing career as an honest-to-goodness "actor who does his own stunts" with great passion and perseverance.
