Belgian-conceived picture star Jean-Claude Van Damme might be called a performer, in spite of the fact that it might be more exact to portray him as a weight lifter and kickboxer. It apparently wasn't in the genes; Van Damme's father was a bookkeeper and blossom representative. Consuming the investigation of Shotokan karate at the age of ten, Van Damme went onto score the middleweight championship of the European Professional Karate Association, where he thrilled everyone with his 360-degree jump-kick. Taking advantage of popularity, the 18-year-old Van Damme started the California Gym in Brussels. At the point that he moved to L.A., he had 7,000 dollars to his name and vocalized just French and Flemish. From the beginning, he took numerous odd vocations, the minimum predisposing of which was as a rug layer. Van Damme's first picture was a touch part in Chuck Norris' Missing in Action (1984). Prepped for stardom by Cannon Films' Menahem Golan, Van Damme ended up being a huge box-office thing through such sagas as No Retreat, No Surrender (1986); Bloodsport (1988); Cyborg (1989); Kickboxer (1989), which he co-composed; Lionheart (1990); and Universal Soldier (1992). Completely mindful of his particular theatrical restrictions, Van Damme didn't limb out into satire or "delicate" roles as has Arnold Schwarzenegger; when featuring in the prominent cutting edge-activity picture Timecop (1994), Van Damme astutely left the acting to scoundrel Ron Silver.
