Mark Dacascos’s 5 most popular quotes

  • I do feel I’m being respectful to Buddhism and martial arts with ‘Mortal Kombat.
  • I consider myself a martial artist and an actor. They can work together or individually. I love to do action. I love having a good role in which I can act and fight. That’s double happiness.
  • My father is Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino; my mother is half-Irish and half-Japanese; Greek last name; born in Hawaii, raised in Germany.
  • The thing with ‘Mortal Kombat’ is we really deal with that: What is the right thing to do? When somebody does something bad, do you, then, in your mind, rectify the situation by doing something bad to them?
  • I try to stay away from stuff that’s just action, action, action, action, action, and you kind of fast-forward through the dialogue scenes. I’m not interested in doing that. Give me a reason to fight, and I’ll go there. But don’t just make it, ‘You touched my pen! Haaa-yah!’ I’ve done that before.
