Coming from a family of butchers, Scott Adkins grew up in Sutton Coldfield. He discovered martial arts at the age of 10 through the local judo club, and was subsequently taught Taekwondo at the age of 14, and Kick Boxing at the age of 16, obtaining his black belt at 19 years of age. He also practiced Muay Thai, MMA, Jeet Kune Do, Judo, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Capoeira, Wushu and gymnastics. He tried acting at Sutton Coldfield College, and then at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art.
While leading a regular career on British television (“Doctors”, “EastEnders”, “Seventh Heaven”, “Holby City”), he continued his career in action films, alongside the actors Jackie Chan (“Accidental Spy”, “The Medallion”), Tsui Hark (“Black Mask 2 : City of Masks”), Jet Li (“Unleashed”), Matt Damon (“The Bourne Ultimatum”) and Hugh Jackman (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”). The year 2003 marked the beginning of his collaboration with the director Isaac Florentine in the war film” Special Forces”; Florentine propelled him to the front of the stage in “Undisputed 2: Last Round” (2006), entrusting to him the character of Yuri Boyka, a Russian fighter acclaimed by the public, and he returned to headlines in “Undisputed 3” (2010). The duo also joined with Jean-Claude Van Damme in 2008, “Ninja” for the first leading role of Adkins in 2009 and the sequel “Ninja: Shadow of a Tear” in 2013. Their collaboration continued with the film “Close Range” (2015), which was their seventh collaboration. In 2015, “Boyka: Undisputed” was released which was the 4th instalment of the franchise, co-produced by Isaac Florentine.
Set in the heart of action fans, the actor is seen in numerous projects, and has sometimes even rejected roles as it happened with “The Expendables and Universal Soldier: Regeneration”. It should also be noted that Adkins demonstrated outstanding concentration in such films as “Assassination Games” (2011), “The Expendables 2 Unit” (2012) and “Universal Soldier: Judgment Day” (2012). Impressed by his athleticism, the Belgian karate master asked him to work on a series derived from “Kickboxer” although the project was cancelled. Adkins appeared in “The Legend of Hercules” (2014) and “Zero Tolerance” (2014), and in 2015 he collaborated with Tony Jaa and Dave Bautista on the movie “Kickboxer: Vengeance”.
To summarise, all the aforementioned engagements have added significant sums to the overall size of Scott Adkins net worth.
