Hitz International is please to welcome Jason William Day to the family! Jason Day's early years began far away from the Hollywood lights he now works under. Jason grew up on a Canadian farm in Southern Alberta at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Jason moved to Lethbridge, AB to attend college where he looked for something that felt like what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, and he found it.
While at college, Jason proceeded to train in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) which eventually led to his career in the UFC under the moniker, 'Dooms Day'. During his fighting years, Jason began to study acting as he was always interested in performing and saw it as an opportunity to transition to film after his fight career.
Upon exiting the MMA, Jason quickly established himself as a stunt performer in Vancouver, BC. Jason continued to work hard in his advanced acting classes and his efforts haven't gone unnoticed. While building his reputation as a stunt performer, Jason is also becoming known for his acting skills, landing some challenging roles as a stunt actor. Jason's role in the Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson blockbuster "Skyscraper " is a testament to both his acting and stunt abilities.

Brett Chan is off to work in South Africa with Johnny Yang as Assistant Stunt Coordinator for the new series “Warrior”. Warrior is based on a script by Bruce Lee who had spent many years working on Warrior, but it was never published or produced. Years after the Enter The Dragon actor’s sudden 1973 death at age 32, his daughter found a large collection of handwritten notes that Bruce wrote himself on the concept for the series that became the inspiration for the show. The series will see Justin Lin as executive produce, Shannon Lee (Bruce Lee’s daughter) as executive producer and Johnathan Tropper as show runner.
Warrior is described as a gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who immigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances, and becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown’s most powerful tongs (Chinese organized crime family).
