Lateef Crowder is an American actor, born in Bahia, Brazil, stunt performer and Capoeira practitioner. As a member of the ZeroGravity stunt team since 2000, he has been featured in multiple internet short videos and demo reels, such as Inmate 451.[1]
He is best known for his appearance in Tom-Yum-Goong (known in North America as The Protector), using Capoeira in a fight scene with Tony Jaa. Due to an injury to his achilles tendon, the scene was cut short, but he has since recovered, and is scheduled to be featured in the upcoming martial arts feature, Duel of Legends,[2] to be released in 2007. Due to his Capoeira skills and vague resemblance to Eddy Gordo, he is a fan favorite to play the character in the announced Tekken feature film, although details on casting and characters have yet to be announced.
