Local Martial Artist to Appear in Johnny Depp Film

Kicks Unlimited owner, Jason Huett of Madison, Wisconsin will appear in the film, "Public Enemies." The film stars Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. "Public Enemies" is scheduled for release on July 1, 2009 and is an action packed movie about the infamous bank robber, John Dillinger.

Madison, WI (PRWEB) May 25, 2009 -- Jason Huett, owner of the Martial Arts Studio Kicks Unlimited in Fitchburg and Middleton, has taken his career onto dangerous new ground in the new Johnny Depp film "Public Enemies." Cast as a stuntman in the film," Huett wrapped up five days of shooting on sets staged in Madison, Columbus and Oshkosh late last year.

Directed by University of Wisconsin alumnus Michael Mann, the new film stars Johnny Depp as the notorious depression-era crime lord John Dillinger, and Christian Bale as FBI agent Melvin Purvis. Bale is hard on the heels of Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson and other prominent gangsters of the time.

With a plot galvanized by stunts and physical action, the production has generated a lot of media buzz and excitement throughout the state of Wisconsin, and thousands have turned out to answer the casting call for extras. Huett's skill as a 4th Degree Black Belt in Karate served him well in his bid to land the role as a stuntman in the film.

It is not the first time he has utilized his talent in an entertainment role. Huett returned to his native Wisconsin in 2002 after a brief stint with the well known "Power Rangers" in California. His experience prompted him to open three local studios and pass on some of the excitement he brings to every job he undertakes. Now, as the owner of Kicks Unlimited, he inspires his staff to pass on the energy that was instilled in him.

Perhaps some of the thousands of hopefuls who stood in the casting line for extras in the exciting new film would do well to visit his studio!
