You also returned to Thailand for a couple of projects, including a co-starring role in the Tony Jaa and Dolph Lundgren actioner A Man Will Rise…
I was called by my good friend David Ismalone and asked if I'd like to come over and work with him (we play Dolph's cowboy sidekicks). This was interesting as I like working in Thailand, and Tony Jaa is THE big star there, and I was going to get a chance to kick his butt. Plus, I have followed Dolph's career and he has been an inspiration for me. He used to live in Sydney, Australia where he worked as a security guard at one of the nice night clubs. When he left and made it as an actor his story became a legend and a distant hope for many other doormen, a few of whom were part time actors doing thug and security roles on TV and in commercials. I was one of them. It was good to get a chance to talk to Dolph about this and get the story straight from him and truth be told the only difference from the urban legend and the truth was his hard work and determination – he had a bit of luck to start but he took the opportunity, prepared and made it into something, a lesson for others.

AR: Another project I had seen you name attached to was with Dolph Lundgren and Tony Jaa. A Man Will Rise. Can you tell me about the movie and your character, also if we will see a release?
Byron Gibson: Yeah we shot that a few years ago and my character was a cowboy called Diego, Dolph's partner he double crosses Dolph Lundgren and steals his money. It was my first western and I am keen to see the outcome! I am not sure when that will be released.
