Lateef Crowder is a Brazilian-born American actor, 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 was featured in the martial arts feature, Duel of Legends,[2] released in 2007. Due to his Capoeira skills and resemblance to the character, it has officially been announced that Crowder will play Eddy Gordo in the announced Tekken feature film. [3] He will also feature in Undisputed 3 which stars Scott Adkins and directed by Isaac Florentine.
