Biography[]
Southworth is a highly trained martial artist, proficient in Taekwondo, Kenpo, Wrestling, Judo, and Jeet Kune Do, having studied martial arts for 15 years and attaining a black belt. After winning many state and national titles, he retired from the fighting circuit. He is also a stunt performer and coordinator, having done work with Jackie Chan and Andy Cheng.
He did all of his own stunts during his tenure on Power Rangers. He was the suit actor for Adam in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers World Tour Live on Stage. This is ironic, as at one point he and Johnny Yong Bosch were the top picks for the part of Adam, with Bosch ultimately winning. He has also become known for his role as the voice of Vergil (Devil May Cry), twin brother to Dante since Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. He made a surprise appearance at Power Morphicon in 2007 at the request of Johnny Yong Bosch and Koichi Sakamoto.
