Let's not forget his role in The Rundown! Ernie Reyes Sr. was also in Surf Ninjas and is a great martial artist in his own right.
Don't forget Ernie's very, very small cameo in "Rush Hour 2." I miss that dude on the screen. He needs to get back into the community spotlight. Hopefully "Red Canvas" will be good. Thanks for dropping by my site FilAmPride.
Wow! He should be truly a FIl-Am Pride! I never knew of him before I land in your page..
I hope he can also be given major roles in other hollywood movies...
