Daniel Pesina

Pesina started his work as an extra in martial arts films, appearing as one of Shredder's foot soldiers in the 1991 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. In 1992 his lifelong friend, designer John Tobias, brought Pesina in to work on a new videogame at the time featuring digitized characters that would fight. This game was known as MORTAL KOMBAT! Daniel played the characters Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile, and served as a martial arts coordinator for the game. Then in Mortal Kombat II he reprised his roles from the previous game, also playing the roles of Smoke, and Noob Saibot.
