Holding black belt ranks in multiple martial arts including three styles of Karate (Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, & Kyokushin), Wushu, Kobudo, Taekwondo, and Tang Soo Do, his broad background is comparable to other diversified contemporaries like Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins. His first major role was in 1997's Spawn portraying the eponymous character (as the first African American actor to play as a big budget major superhero) and later on moved to star in the martial arts comedy Black Dynamite and cult martial arts films Undisputed 2: Last Man Standing and Blood and Bone while making cameos in bigger films like The Dark Knight as a mob boss. Here's a compilation of my favorite Michael Jai White fight scenes.

2. Blood and Bone
