I'm a tool

Actor. Stuntman. Model. Swiss (NOT Belgian)! Daniel Bernhardt is a beloved cult figure amongst fans of offbeat and indie action films. He played Runaway in experiment #1004 - Future War.

He was widely compared to Jean Claude Van Damme, starting out. Maybe due to his debuting in Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite. Or his appearance in Bloodsport III. Or Bloodsport 4: The Dark Kumite. (He even says he "played Van Damme" in those movies, so he knows what's up.)

Bernhardt is a legitimate martial artist: he has a black belt in Taekwondo, and studied Kyokushin karate among other disciplines. Starting out as a model, he parlayed an appearance in Versace campaign with Van Damme (there he is again!) into a film career in Hollywood.

He spent his early career doing stuntwork and appearing in low-budget action schlock (and I say that with love), before finally getting his due in legitimate films with parts in films like The Matrix, and latterly appearing in Atomic Blonde and the John Wick films.

It's safe to say that Future War fits into the earlier part of his career. (And his brother, Cliff's! He actually plays two roles in Future War!)

And the Bernhardt train keeps rolling on, as he will be appearing in an all new Deathstalker movie as Deathstalker himself! (A character previously seen in #703 - Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell.) Can't wait to see it!
