Jaa, born northeast of Thailand as Panom Yeerum, knew at the tender age of 15 that he wanted to be involved in martial arts after seeing Thai action-star hero Phanna Rithikrai in Born to Fight.
In Jaa’s film debut, Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior, the stuntman turned actor materializes his dream of being a Thai action hero and welcomes the opportunity to work with his mentor, Rithikrai, who trained him in kung fu and stunt work many years ago.
Jaa explains that other reasons for the delay were because Muay Thai films are traditionally unsuccessful, along with the industry’s skepticism about whether or not the film would find an audience.

Heralded by Time magazine as "the next Bruce Lee," Tony Jaa was born Panom Yeerum on February 5, 1976, and grew up with three other siblings in the town of Surin, Thailand.
By age 10, Jaa had already developed an interest in martial arts movies when he began to train at a martial arts school in his home town.
Jaa's second film with Rittikrai and Pinkaew, Tom Yum Goong, is set for release in Asia in August 2005.

Jaa can't quite summon psychic fireballs, but at one point he does deliver several flying kicks with his feet in flames, splitting a foe's motorcycle helmet in two in the process.
In interviews and in person, however, Jaa always seems incredibly happy, so the fact that he's convincingly angry on screen may mean he's got the chops.
Jaa's face isn't as expressive as Jackie Chan's, and he's not quite as conventionally handsome as Jet Li, but he could probably give both a run for their money in a fight.

martial in town
  (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
But like the late great Lee, Jaa may introduce audiences to something new and thrilling - in his case, it's Muay Thai, the ancient fighting style of Thailand that's notable for combatants' extensive use of elbows and knees.
Formerly a stunt man ("Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"), Jaa's high-kicking high jinks in "Ong-Bak," as a novice warrior out to retrieve a precious artifact from drug fiends, include some of his trademark 360-degree flips, as well as a chase through a Bangkok market in which he leaps through moving barrels.
Jaa says that along with the lessons taught by his father and his Muay Thai masters, he has learned from his heroes.

When Tony Jaa's film producer met him for the first time, she thought he was "ugly" and "couldn't act." His image consultant now says Jaa is "uncool" and is urging him to get a new haircut.
Jaa hurtles down the runway, launches himself like a missile, flips in midair and brings his right foot crashing down on the cushion.
Jaa, whose real name is Phanom Yeeram, grew up in Thailand's rural northeast, a region most notable for its poverty and, in the early 1980s, the occasional mortar round fired across the Cambodian border by the Khmer Rouge.

 Profile & Interview: TONY JAA
Jaa has demonstrated the point, which is that he has the skills to do everything you see in Ong-Bak, the first film to feature him as an actor and not a stunt double.
Jaa: For those scenes there were no special effects, but we did a lot of preparation and practiced them a lot, so that it all came out.
Jaa: When I was studying with Phanna I learned a little acting with the crew, but before making Ong-Bak I had an acting coach for about a year.

Jaa's big screen debut Ong-Bak hits theaters this week in America, and the diminutive star and sensational martial artist recently sat down with IGN FilmForce to discuss his path from fighting to film.
Being Thai, Jaa says that he was determined to bring the distinctive martial arts culture of his native country to the screen, should he earn the opportunity to make films.
Jaa explains that he endured several years in the Thai filmmaking industry as a stunt man, an experience which he claims didn't give him enough screen time to show his stuff.

Though all the scenes presented their particular challenges, Jaa says the scene in which Ting is chased through a market was the most difficult to choreograph due to the use of props (like the coil of barbed wire Jaa jumps through).
The bit where Jaa kicks several bad guys while his legs are on fire was, as you might suspect, another challenge.
Jaa clearly suffered for his art and the onscreen results whet appetites for more old-school Muay Thai action.

Thai martial arts star Tony Jaa is being touted as the heir-apparent to Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li -- and in "Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior," he certainly makes a mark for himself in the increasingly popular genre with refined, enthrallingly focused, breathtakingly acrobatic grace.
Jaa plays a young rural villager who ventures to the big city to retrieve a sacred Buddha head stolen from his community temple.
But as imaginative, awe-inspiring, and often brutal as Jaa's punches, kicks, swirls and stunts may be, it seems director Prachya Pinkaew can't get enough of certain repetitive moves (elbow to the head, elbow to the head, elbow to the head...).
