Here’s another interview in Nerdly’s socially distanced series of chats with filmmakers as part of the Nerdly Out Loud podcast for Nerdly.co.uk. This time Kevin sits down with actor, stuntman and stunt double, Alain Moussi to talk his film career and his new fitness system. Check it out below:
Alain Moussi is an international action star born on March 29, 1981 in Libreville, Gabon from a Lebanese father, Jean Moussi, and French-Canadian mother, Rita Moussi. Moussi began his martial arts training in the art of jujutsu under Canadian martial arts legend John Therien and also trained in kickboxing under legendary kickboxing champion Jean-Yves Theriault. He had trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Carlos Machado, eventually earning his black belt in the art. Moussi got his start as a stuntman and credits Jean Frenette, a former world martial arts champion turned stunt coordinator for films, with giving him his start.

If simply watching such streaming entertainment as “Homecoming,” “A Very English Scandal,” “Good Omens,” “The Romanoffs” and “Fleabag” isn’t enough, you might want to check out Amazon Prime Video’s third Prime Experience For Your Consideration activation. The Emmy-related interactive event runs from April 12 to May 5 at the Hollywood Athletic Club and is open to non-academy members.
Imagine hitching a ride with Midge Maisel’s manager Susie or being able to visit Azriphale’s heavenly book store from “Good Omens.” Or perhaps you would rather sit in Heidi Bergman’s office from “Homecoming” – with fish tank, of course. Maybe you would want to relax at a gilded vodka bar tied to “The Romanoffs.” How about a front-row seat to witness the courtroom drama from “A Very English Scandal” or being able to step into a chalk art scene and sit on a sofa that seems to be sinking into the Thames from “Catastrophe.

Back in the '80s, I use to love those action-packed martial arts films that created icons out of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sho Kosugi, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. One of the films that I remembered back in the days was Kickboxer, which starred a young Jean-Claude Van Damme, and was surprised that they would be making a remake of the film tilted Kickboxer: Vengeance, which would feature the return of Jcvd to the franchise.
Kickboxer: Vengeance stars martial artist and stuntman Alain Moussi, and he has some big shoes to fill as he is playing the role that once belonged to Jcvd. An update to the 1989 classic film Kickboxer, Kickboxer: Vengeance follows the story of Kurt Sloane (Alain Moussi), who travels to Thailand to avenge the death of his brother at the hands of Tong Po (Dave Bautista). Kurt trains with the legendary Master Durand (Jean-Claude Van Damme) until...
