Loren Avedon
- Actor
- Stunts
- Producer
After graduating from Beverly Hills High School in 1980, while
attending college Loren Avedon signed up at the Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do
Karate school in Los Angeles. He received his first "break" while
training late one night at the Karate school. Producer
Roy Horan was looking for an actor/martial
artist to be the star of
No Retreat, No Surrender 2 (1987).
He gave Loren an audition and a week later he was signed as the star in
the film with a three-picture deal. He then starred in
No Retreat, No Surrender 3: Blood Brothers (1990),
helping him develop his acting talents and making him a cult hero in
Europe and around the world. Loren spent four months shooting
The King of the Kickboxers (1990),
playing an undercover cop, with
Billy Blanks. Experts agreed that
"King of the Kickboxers" contained some of the most brilliant martial
arts fight scenes ever captured on film.
