Filmography

• "The Mascot" (2005)- short film, limited release, not much is known
• Batman & Robin (1997)- featured as an ice thug (classified as stunts, because overall his character is not recognizable among the army of ice thugs)
• Moving Target (1997)- Boris (a visible role)
• Virtual Combat (1996)- Dante (a lead role, even though his voice is dubbed over, for a more "video game-villain" effect)
• WMAC Masters (1995-1996)- Turbo (perhaps his best known role, even after more than 10 years)
• Terminal Rush (1995)- Bob (has a very good fight scene with Don 'dragon' Wilson)
• Shootfighter II (1995)- Nick (reprisal of his role as Nick, with several good fight scenes but not as much character development as the first movie.)
