Synergism
of martial arts and film....
|
After fulfilling his military
obligations, in 1998 Salvador, an internationally licensed pilot, flew
to Chile
where he obtained his Chilean Pilot’s
license. He also trained and obtained his Black Belt in Karate. It was
while living in Chile,
Salvador
was finally able to connect his
martial arts ambitions with his dream of acting.

After working as an extra in several nationally aired South
American television shows, Salvador
was discovered by a national commercial
producer while waiting at a bus stop. Salvador
was immediately cast as the lead male in
a string of national commercials. Salvador
quickly drew acclaim with producers for
his actor/martial arts choreography
skills. Ambitiously acting,
modeling, and continuing with his intense martial arts training, Salvador
somehow found time to obtain his Spain
pilot’s license.
Dreams
becoming reality....
When asked
what is it about the
Hollywood action film industry that intrigues him so much that he is willing to share his training energies with pursuing an acting career,
he commented: “Everything I've learned is too precious to keep to myself.
I want to teach the whole world how amazing martial arts can be. I know
I can do that from the [Hollywood] screen. I really want to give back
some reality to martial arts [as it is seen in the film industry]. I also want to
give some feeling to martial arts. For instance, I'd like to make them
[the fight scenes] look different since for a long time the ones on
screen have all looked the same.”
