Iko Uwais is a man of many talents. He is an actor, producer, and talented martial artist best known for his roles as Rama in The Raid, Razoo Quin-Fee in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, and Kai Jin in Wu Assassins.
The Indonesian actor is now set to appear in the highly anticipated movie Snake Eyes, the original title being Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. In the movie, he will portray the role of Hard Master, a formidable leader of Clan Arashikage.
Uwais Was a National Silat Champion
Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, Uwais was quickly influenced by the nation’s history and deeply rooted culture of practicing martial arts.
He was also influenced by his grandfather, H. Achmad Bunawar, a master of silat, an Indonesian traditional martial art.
The 38-year-old actor began training and learning silat when he was just 10 years old. By the time he crossed his teenage, he had already learned a lot about the form of martial arts.
In 2005, he went on to become a National Champion in the Silat category.
His Martial Arts Talent Led Him to Acting
Since competing in the Silat category was not quite enough for his financial needs, Uwais worked as a part-time operational driver in a telecommunications company. Additionally, he also used to play football and had opened his own Silat school.
Two years after being a National Champion, his Silat school was visited by a Welsh film Director named Gareth Evans. Evans discovered Uwais’ skills and told him that he could achieve more as an actor.
The director also offered the now-actor to join his movie production company as one of the leading actors in his acting projects. Uwais, the son of Maisyaroh and Mustapha Kamaluddin, eventually changed his mind and sought success as an actor.

In 2015, he made his appearance in the hit movie Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens as Razoo Quin-Fee.
The movie boosted his popularity. In the next two years, he only appeared in two movies; Headshot (2016) and Beyond Skyline (2017). However, he appeared in two movies in a year for the first time in 2018 when he appeared in The Night Comes for Us (as Arian) and Mile 22 (Li Noor).
In 2019, he played in two movies; Triple Threat (as Jaka) and Stuber (as Oka Tedjo). In the same year, he made his television debut through the Netflix action-fiction series titled Wu Assassins. He played the lead role of Kai Jin in the series. He also was the co-executive producer of the show.
The actor is now set to portray the role of Hard Master, a formidable leader of Clan Arashikage, in the adventure/superhero movie Snake Eyes, also known as Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. The movie is set to release on July 23, 2021.

Doran also expressed he strives to distance himself from any biases and prejudices portrayed by his character, highlighting his open-mindedness and acceptance in real life.

Sean Blakemore Opens up about Being an Actor of Color in Hollywood
Racism is still rampant in the Hollywood industry.

Racism is rampant to date despite people being aware of how wrong it is.
Every single day we hear news about hatred and discrimination rooted in racism, especially against Black people. The Hollywood industry is no different.
Many people of color have spoken up about being discriminated against in the industry. Recently, Sean Blakemore shared his experience about being a black actor in Hollywood and typecasting on the basis of race.
He sat down with People in June 2023 and talked about the upcoming season of Cruel Summer. During the conversation, he revealed how he still needed to fight for opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Sean Blakemore on typecasting and Hollywood
Blakemore told People how people of color still had to fight for equal pay. Moreover, typecasting according to race was extremely prominent.
He pointed out how people of color do not have voice equality “to not play certain roles or be typecast in certain types of roles because we are beyond that.” “We are everything,” he asserted.
He shared the importance of being able to play various characters rather than being stereotyped. He gave an example of himself as a black actor and noted, “To be a diverse actor as an African American male — tall, I’m 6’1, 220 [pounds], dark skin — they can very easily want to lock you in the box.”

Unfortunately, because of typecasting based on race, Blakemore has to fight the stereotype. “And you have to fight that. And you have to make sure that you’re seen as a vast character, not just a strong image,” he said.
The actor hoped that typecasting would decrease in the future and that black actors could break stereotypes in Hollywood. He encouraged the audience to look beyond race since there were many layers he, as well as other people of color, possessed.
Blakemore emphasized being able to partake and play various characters that would not lock him inside a stereotype. He said, “So I’m not [just] a Black actor. I love being a Black man — let’s be clear — but I’m an actor, so it’s [more] about: ‘Can this person portray the role, period?’”
He understood that if race had something to do with a particular role, then it is understandable. But apart from that, people of color should not be forced into just playing a stereotypical role.
He claimed, “But even then, can he or she do the role? Because it should be based upon your skillset, not your skin tone.” All in all, Blakemore simply wants a safe space for people of different races in the Hollywood industry.
Sean Blakemore’s career
Blakemore is an American actor with a recurring role as Shawn Butler on the ABC daytime program General Hospital. He started playing the part on January 21, 2011.
For his work on General Hospital, Blakemore was nominated in 2012 for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He later won the award in 2016.
He left the show in 2015, and later, he returned to it for guest appearances in November 2015 and April 2016. In April 2021, Blakemore reprised his role as Butler once more.
Blakemore has made an appearance in episodes of shows including ER, Monk, The Shield, Cold Case, NCIS, and Bones. In recognition of his depiction of Ric Jackson in the indie romance movie Big Ain’t Bad, he received the Auds award at the Hollywood Black Film Festival.
Additionally, Blakemore starred in the TV movies Motives 2: Retribution and Blackout as well as the 2002 movie Dahmer.

Sang Heon Lee Didn’t Want Sister Gia Kim on Set While Filming Kissing Scenes in ‘Xo, Kitty’
Some things are simply not meant to be seen by siblings.

Ever since the premiere of XO, Kitty, the stars Sang Heon Lee and Gia Kim have gained quite a fanbase. This happened especially after it was revealed that they were siblings in real life.
The pair have delighted fans with their adorable moments together both on and off-screen. From various interviews and heartfelt birthday tributes featuring nostalgic photos to relatable carpool karaoke sessions — the two have shared a lot of moments with their fans and followers.
During those interviews, Lee and Kim showcased that they have a very close bond with each other. However, despite being close to each other, there are certain boundaries they are unwilling to cross, particularly in Lee’s case.

Recently, Lee candidly shared his most awkward and embarrassing experience on the set of XO, Kitty, and it all centered around his sister’s presence. During an interview with Netflix, the actor confessed that his sister being on set while he filmed a particular scene made him uncomfortable and cringe to an unimaginable extent.
Sang Heon Lee did not want his sister on-set
When Lee had to do a kiss scene with Jocelyn Shelfo in XO, Kitty, he did not want his sister on set with him. He started, “I didn’t want her to be there, and, oh my gosh, it was just so awkward.”
Kim knew what her brother was about to say, so she started giggling and teasing Lee, who was cringing remembering the set and the scene. While filming his kiss scene with Shelfo, Lee saw Kim behind the DJ booth set.
He then asked her to go away while he filmed the scene, only for Kim to decline him. He said, “She was like, ‘No!’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean, no?! You want to see your brother kiss someone?’ I think that was my foremost awkward and embarrassing moment.”
Kim reassured her brother and confessed that she did not actually see him kiss Shelfo. Regardless, Lee was still awkward from the incident and said, “It’s just wrong, isn’t it? Yeah, like it was so awful.”
Gia then humorously responded, “It’s okay, darling. I have watched everything.” The video snippet was shared by Xo, Kitty’s Instagram account, @xokittynetflix.

They captioned the post, “Sang Heon Lee says filming the kissing scenes in front of his sister, Gia Kim, is his most embarrassing moment.” Lee took to comment to emphasize the discomfort he experienced using several facepalm emojis.
Sang Heon Lee and Gia Kim in ‘Xo, Kitty’
Lee and Kim’s role in Xo, Kitty is quite iconic. The two are not siblings on the show and do not interact much in the show.
Kim portrays Yuri, the It girl of the show. She is confident, well-dressed, and effortlessly elegant… even if she isn’t always permitted to be that person.
Early in the first episode, we learn that Yuri is still grieving from her parents discovering a love relationship between her and her closest friend Juliana, which caused Juliana to switch schools.
XO Kitty.

Real Brother [Sang Heon Lee] is in absolute love with Kitty.
Kitty is in love with the Real Sistah [Gia Kim]…
What a Triage!#NETFLIX #xokitty #TeamMinho # pic.twitter.com/pXAZTfVZyZ
A devastated adolescent girl lurks underneath the confident veneer of Yuri. Lee’s character is no less than that of his sister.
He plays the role of Min Ho, who is like the “It boy.” He is somewhat of an arrogant schoolboy who ignores Kitty, claiming not to understand English.
But in reality, he is just a guy with a tough surface and a golden heart.
