He left Vietnam at the age of 8 with his family, mother, father, older brother, and older sister and moved to Los Angeles, CA.

Johnny Nguyen comes from a family with deep roots in the Vietnamese entertainment industry. His uncle is Nguyen Chanh Tin, a legendary Vietnamese actor, while his older brother is Charlie Nguyen, who directs the widely popular Van Son Entertainment videos.
His acting roles include the martial arts films Tom-Yum-Goong and Cradle 2 the Grave. His work as a stunt double includes the role of Spider-Man in Spider-Man 2 and as the Green Goblin in the first feature film. He practices kung fu, wushu, tai chi, aikido, and vovinam.
