Who played the young Joe Armstrong?


I can't find the name of the child actor who played the young Joe Armstrong during his training scene. He's uncredited here and my efforts to find his name elsewhere have proven fruitless.

I'm quite interested to know because it will settle an argument between my brother and I, he seems to think it's Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle, I don't.

Any ideas anyone?

It's a pretty easy arguement to settle when you realize that when "American Ninja" was shot, the kid who plays Dewey was still years away from being born.

Lol, yeah what a dumb bet.. of course it ain't Dewey! Unless he did the movie before he was BORN!

But the kid was also in the first American Ninja, they just used the same flashback I reckon'.. not 100% certain though, just 99%. Been a while since I've seen the first one.

If there exists a DVD-version with audio commentary, they might say who it was.

Yes. And he would even have to play a role about the same age as he was in Malcolm... ;)
