Ernie Reyes Jr is an American actor, martial artist, and stunt performer of Filipino and Chinese descent. He was born on January 15, 1972, in San Jose, California, USA.
Reyes began his career in the entertainment industry at a young age, appearing as a child actor in films such as "The Last Dragon" (1985) and "Red Sonja" (1985). However, it was his breakthrough role as "Keno" in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze" (1991) that cemented his status as a popular action star.
Reyes went on to appear in several other films, including "Surf Ninjas" (1993), "The Rundown" (2003), and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (2008). He also worked as a stunt performer in films such as "The Avengers" (2012) and "Fast & Furious 7" (2015).
As an Asian actor, Reyes has made a significant cultural impact on the film industry. He broke barriers as a Filipino-Chinese actor and was one of the few Asian actors to play lead roles in action films during the 1990s. Reyes' roles helped to challenge stereotypes about Asian actors and demonstrated that they can be action stars in their own right.
