xXx

NZ actor Martin Csokas’ sexy (Salon) villian praised in Vin Diesel action blockbuster xXx: Csokas is “the baddest of the baddies,” “a splendid villain […] whose brooding and commanding persona oozes onto the screen.” Csokas in person is described as self-contained and calm, “the opposite of his aggressive bad-boy screen persona” in xXx. From Toi Whakaari to Speight’s Man to Leonard Dodds to evil Russian anarchist, Urban Cinefile‘s sees Csoka’s dramatic shifts as attesting to his caliber as an actor, calling the performance his “breakthrough to an international career.”
