Born:
October 18, 1960
in
Sint-Agatha Berchem in Belgium
Best Known For:
His action-movie roles.
Early-life:
Born Jean-Claude Camille Francois Van Varenberg in Sint-Agatha Berchem in Brussels, Belgium on October 18, 1960. He became interested in martial arts at the age of 10 after being encouraged by his father, who thought it was a good way to build his strength. In his late teens, Van Damme opened a gym and was a European karate champion, but quit competitive fighting after moving to California to become an actor.
Career:
On his arrival in the US, Van Damme didn't speak English, but claims he learnt the language by watching The Flintstones. He struggled to land parts at first, taking numerous odd jobs to make ends meet. Chuck Norris gave him a role in Missing in Action (1984) but several forgettable movies followed until he got his big break playing a villain in 1988's No Retreat, No Surrender. His good looks and amazing martial arts skills then led to leading roles in such films as Kickboxer (1989), Double Impact (1991), Universal Soldier (1992), Hard Target (1993), Timecop (1994) and Street Fighter (1995). He then went on to star in a number of poorly received movies. More recently, he voiced a character in Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) and played the aptly titled Jean Vilain in The Expendables 2 (2012).
Quote:
'I love challenges. If you don't have any and can do whatever you want, then it's probably time to die.'
Trivia:
Between 1992 and 2012, Van Damme starred in four Universal Soldier movies.
