Gary Daniels mini-bio: Action film star Gary Daniels was a real-life kick-boxing champion. With rugged
good-looks, a muscular build and a charming personality, it was a natural for him
to move from the world of fighting to that of acting. Born Gary Edward Daniels on
May 9, 1963 in Working, Surrey, England, Daniels was a childhood fan of legendary
martial arts film star Bruce Lee. He followed his idol by studying Kung Fu.
Demonstrating a natural ability for the sport of kick-boxing, Daniels embarked on

there. According to a report in the Miami Herald Newspaper, Daniels defeated
Sherman Bergman in a tournament in Miami, Florida, in March 1980. He went on to
capture a Professional Karate Association Lightheavyweight Kickboxing Championship.
He retired from the sport with an undefeated record of 22-0, with 21 knockouts
victories. His ring achievements brought him small roles in Miami Vice. He later
traveled to the Philippines to make karate films, and from there went into
mainstream film-making. Daniels has acted in over 50 movies.
