He rose through the ranks as a fight choreographer, notably on films such as Inception and Redemption where the complicated action scenes required specialized planning and rehearsals. He has doubled many Actors and trained others such as Jason Statham, Joseph Gordon Levitt and the lead cast of Dunkirk.
For "Inception" the actors were required to conduct a fight sequence while simulating a zero gravity experience within a rotating room. With the actor's safety as his number 1 priority, John devised a rigorous training regime so that the fight sequences became second nature. After testing the complex rigging equipment personally, John was then able to put the actors in the heart of the action to produce what is arguably one of the finest fight sequences of all time.
More recently for "Dunkirk", John was tasked with bringing the visceral combat scenes to life while again ensuring that the actors and stunt performers could operate with complete safety.
