    So this is the first interview I have seen with Mandylor. As I suspected, his charisma isn't just something he turns on when filming. It is why I love his movies, he just oozes charisma. Even bad movies like that last Doom movie, he makes his scenes worth watching

    The pairing of Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor for the Debt Collector movies is a chemistry that comes along only once in awhile. These two play off each other so well. Comedic timing. Fraternity. Great action. Looking forward to more....

    Louis Mandylor is just a genuine person. I think that's why him and Scott get along so well. Very down to earth person and seems to be willing to do what it takes to make the scene great. I enjoyed this interview. From his background alone he deserves to be on the The Art of Action. That iron palm training is no joke. Best of luck for you Louis.

    Louis Mandylor has a special signature both in his acting and fight choreography. He should have carved a niche for him long time ago . Again , as they say your stars have to be aligned. And I believe Louis’ this stint will propel him to the greatest height of his career . All the best to him and to Scott as always.

    It’s like I know these are decent and disciplined gents but it looks actually dangerous.
    I was a bouncer years ago but fortunately never came across highly trained men like you guys and your power and speed leaps off the screen. Friends would say “these are just movie guys, you could take them!” but I had no hesitation in saying “no way, these guys are scary!”

Louis was great in that along with Kelly Hu. Didn't realize Louis Mandylor had a martial arts back ground, looking back at the show now, they could've used his martial art abilities more. The Debt Collector movies are brilliant, loved the relationship between the 2 characters and the fight at the end of 2 was just awesome!!. All the hard work is appreciated!!.

    I think Louis is highly underrated. He seems to pop up in a lot of films I watch and kills it every time. I completely agree with Scott that he needs more action film roles. Maybe I am biased as my intro to him was Martial Law so seeing him return to that form with stuff like Debt Collector is great. Keep raging, Mr. Mandylor!
