John Woo and Peter Jackson contacted the director with praise for David's acting performance, and Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan cast him in the action-comedy Mr Nice Guy.Although he completed his degree, his involvement in the industry never waned.
His first attraction was acting, which he has studied for many years at various institutions including the esteemed NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) in Sydney, and the Ivana Chubbuck studios in Los Angeles.
Like many actors in Australia, he has had his fair share of guest and walk-on roles in various TV serials, but his niche was his physical ability.No's parents both taught martial arts. In fact, his father (Ke-Hyung No) was responsible for establishing taekwondo in Australia and his mother (Robin Marchment) was the first female Australian black-belt.
No went on to represent Australia in both Judo and taekwondo. That martial arts ability has seen him work with some of the best in the field on projects like: Jackie Chan's Mr Nice Guy, the Mel Gibson / Jet Li produced Invincible; The Matrix Reloaded and the Enter the Matrix video game.
As a martial arts actor, No explored the stunt world further, gaining his Australian stunt qualifications and working in all aspects of stunt work including body control, heights, fire, animals, water, and vehicles.
His specialties would become fighting, wire-work, and precision driving.No started making films under his own company name, Furious Films. His talents as a screenwriter and action director quickly became known, and Furious Films started writing screenplays for other companies.
