As a stuntman, he has doubled for Henry Cavill (Immortals), Jason Clarke (White House Down), Josh Helman (X-Men: Days of Future Past), Travis Fimmel (Warcraft), Hugh Jackman (X-Men: Apocalypse), and Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad). The martial arts which he has trained in are Jujitsu, Kickboxing and Karate. In addition to stunts and acting, Moussi owns and operates K2 Martial Arts (formerly NX Martial Arts and Fitness) in Orleans, Ottawa, Canada.

Martial arts

Moussi began his martial arts training in the art of jiu jitsu under Canadian martial arts legend John Therien and also trained in kickboxing under legendary kickboxing champion Jean-Yves Theriault. He had trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Carlos Machado, eventually earning his black belt in the art.[4]

Film career

Moussi got his start as a stuntman and credits Jean Frenette, a former world martial arts champion turned stunt coordinator for films, with giving him his start. His first job was doubling Henry Cavill in the film Immortals. He has also doubled for Aaron Eckhart in Erased, Mike "The Miz" Mizanin in The Marine 3: Homefront and Christmas Bounty, Jason Clarke in White House Down, Josh Helman in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Travis Fimmel in Warcraft, Hugh Jackman in X-Men: Apocalypse, and Jai Courtney in Suicide Squad.

At the Cannes Film Festival in 2014, it was announced by producer/ director Dimitri Logothetis he would get his first leading role in a reboot of the 1989 film Kickboxer, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme. In Kickboxer: Vengeance, Moussi played Kurt Sloane, a young martial artist who must refine his skills to avenge his brother's death. Van Damme himself replaced the departing Tony Jaa as Kurt's teacher, now named Master Durand. The film received mixed reviews but the confidence of the film resulted in two sequels, Kickboxer: Retaliation, released in 2017, and Kickboxer: Syndicate, which began production in February 2017. The sequels bring Moussi back as Kurt Sloane and in addition, Moussi and longtime friend Jean-Francois LaChappelle served as fight choreographers of Retaliation.

Moussi also played the role of Charlie Nash in the web series sequel Street Fighter: Resurrection.

In 2018, Moussi worked in the Titans episode "Dick Grayson" where he and Maxime Savaria did the uncredited stunt performances of Batman.

In the summer of 2019, Moussi worked alongside Nicolas Cage, Tony Jaa, Frank Grillo, and JuJu Chan on the sci-fi martial arts film Jiu Jitsu. The film was released in November 2020. In 2021, he had a small role as a thug on a bus who fights Bob Odenkirk's character in the action-comedy Nobody.

Personal life

Moussi's father, Jean Moussi, immigrated to Canada from Lebanon, and his mother, Rita Moussi, is French Canadian. He has a daughter.[5]
