Alain Moussi Goes From Stuntman to Leading Man in "Kickboxer" Reboot
Alain Moussi is known for his work in action films such as "X-Men," "Suicide Squad," and "Immortals." In the "Kickboxer" reboot, he plays Kurt Sloane, a role that was originated by Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Alyssa Julya Smith sits down with Moussi to discuss the film franchise, which just released the second in the series called "Kickboxer: Retaliation." Moussi talks about what it was like to act in a film when he is usually a stuntman. He also admits it was a dream come true to work with Van Damme who was one of his idols and plays his mentor in the film.
