Benny Urquidez is an American actor with an audience far beyond home who can open a project on name recognition alone. It has taken 48 years to build the position he now occupies. '1408' remains the anchor of the filmography, thanks to Claw Hammer Maniac. 'Grosse Pointe Blank' is the other title with comparable reach. 26 was the age at the first credit. More credits fall under action than under anything else.

Benny Urquidez (born June 20, 1952) is an American kickboxer, martial arts choreographer and actor. Nicknamed "The Jet", Urquidez was a non-contact karate competitor who later pioneered full-contact fighting in the United States. He made the transition from point to full-contact karate in 1974, the year of its inception in the US, frequently fighting in bouts where the rules were ambiguous and contrasts in styles were dramatic. Urquidez is also known for once holding the rare achievement of six world titles in five different weight divisions, and remained largely undefeated in his 27-year career. His only loss came in a Muay Thai match which was shrouded in controversy, as Urquidez had only agreed to a no-decision exhibition, a clause which was ignored when the fight had ended.Benny Urquidez, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
