He then played the leading man in the mini-series, "Son of the Dragon," where on location in China, John demonstrated his athletic skills in his portrayal of D.B, a young thief who trains under a martial arts master played by David Carradine.
John continued his work on feature films as a small-town mechanic in the Weinstein brothers' movie "Make it Happen," with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and then appeared in Disney's "Tron: Legacy" where he worked with Jeff Bridges to help create the computer animated characters of Young Kevin Flynn and Clu.
