Robin Shou is the fourth child of a Shanghai tailor and homemaker. His family moved to the US in 1971. Their first home in Los Angeles was a 2 bedroom apartment near Olympic and Vermont, today known as Koreatown.
Shou didn't start attending martial arts classes until he was 19. He took Kenpo (Karate) classes while attending California State University. He soon realized that Karate didn't do anything for him so he decided to quit. A year and a half later he watched a demonstration by a group of Wu Shu practitioners from Beijing. He said "This is Chinese!" He was so inspired to train in this discipline that in year 1981, just before starting his senior year at California State University, he sold his car and used the money to spend a quarter studying Wu Shu in China. Robin's parents didn't know his real whereabouts until his aunt wrote his mother telling her that her son was in Nanjing.
He returned to California State University and obtained his B.S. in civil engineering. He spent a year and a half in this field and was convinced that he needed a different career, he found computer and electronics boring. He was always trying to follow the ideal; finishing school, getting a job, getting married etc. He wasn't happy and the only thing that kept him going was martial arts. Soon he took off to Hong Kong, planning to vacation and think. Shortly after his arrival, however, he was offered a chance to appear in a movie as a stuntman. He was offered job after job, and for his first two years in Hong Kong he played small parts in action films. When Robin isn't making films he takes ceramic classes, paints, welds, and does woodworking. He enjoys to do anything that involves working with his hands.
Shou's first real dramatic role was in the film Forbidden Nights (1990), where he played opposite Melissa Gilbert. Though only a TV film, this was his first American debut and surely a huge step for Hollywood. Robin went back to Hong Kong and continued making movies there. By this time, he was more thorough about the roles he was offered. He wanted other roles and after nine years he was bored and didn't want to continue acting.
He returned to Los Angeles in 1994 to start an import/export business. He got a call from his agent, ranting about a perfect role for him in a movie called Mortal Kombat (1995). Robin wasn't interested, assuming he would be playing a villain who gets killed in the end. His agent begged him to audition and he did, along with other top contenders like: Jason Scott Lee, Russell Wong and Dustin Nguyen. Seven auditions later, he was Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat (1995). Shou also appears as a supporting role in another fighting video game adaption, DOA: Dead or Alive (2006), based on the Dead or Alive series.Liu Kang in MK1 and MK Annihilation.- Actor

Growing up John Medlen had four loves: karate, stunts, music, and directing. Much of his early work was based on his vast martial arts background, which opened doors for him to become a stunt player and a small production company that he co-owned in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which provided plenty of trial and error learning as a director and editor. Medlen had an enormous appetite for learning and would take any position from extra to production assistant just to be on a production set.
In 1994, Medlen's tenacity began to pay off. He worked as a stunt player/actor for a Universal Studio's live show and as a stunt player under stunt coordinator Pat Johnson on "WMAC Master's: Quest for the Dragon Star" (4Kids Productions 1995-96). This became the first turning point in his career as he went on to be Johnson's Assistant Stunt Coordinator and the character "Ermac" in "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" (NewLine 1997), which had a #1 box office debut.
The #1 new syndicated show of 1997, "The New Adventures of Robin Hood", (13 episodes, Warner Bros. International 1997) and the #1 new syndicated show of 1998, "Mortal Kombat Conquest", (22 episodes, NewLine / Threshold Entertainment / Warner Bros. 1998-99) featured Medlen as a 2nd unit director, stunt coordinator, and fight choreographer. Medlen credits these two shows, especially the latter, for giving him the opportunity to showcase his unique style that he is known for today. In between these two projects, Medlen worked in Europe as the 2nd unit director, stunt coordinator, and fight choreographer for "Beowulf" (Miramax 1998). Set in a "time out of time" Medlen loved the challenge of creating new weapons and fights for the star Christopher Lambert.
Then Medlen was off to Hawaii to stunt coordinate and fight choreograph military combat for "To End All Wars: A True World War II Story" starring Keffer Sutherland (Argyll Film 2000). Medlen returned from Hawaii to join the crew of the much acclaimed and awarded "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (44 episodes, 20th Century Fox) as the 2nd unit director, stunt coordinator, and fight choreographer. He is currently on his third season. While working on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Medlen has had the wonderful opportunity to do other shows and features that continue to establish him as a trendsetter in fight choreography. J.J. Abrams, executive producer/creator of the "Best New Television Drama" (People's Choice Awards), "Alias", hired John Medlen as the fight choreographer for the "Alias" pilot, "Truth Be Told" (Touchtone 2001). Medlen has received high recognition for his work on this episode, including a 2002 an American Choreography Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Fight Choreography" for film and television.
Medlen's second nomination for an American Choreography Award came from his work on the box office action sensation "Spiderman" (Sony Pictures 2000). As the fight choreographer under stunt coordinator Jeff Habberstad, Medlen was thrilled to develop such high action fights for the well-known Marvel Comic characters.
Medlen just completed work on "In the Houze"(Touchstone) starring Steve Martin and Queen Lativa. As 2nd unit director, stunt coordinator, and fight choreographer, Medlen enjoyed creating the comedic fights for this soon to be released feature. John Medlen is a proud member of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). He is married and considers his greatest accomplishment in life his precious daughter.Ermac/stunts in MK Annihilation, stunts in MK Conquest, Various in MK Federation of Martial Arts.- Stunts
