While <strong><em>Beyond the Mat<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s premise is about high school wrestlers and their coming-to-age struggles, Wynn\u2019s character is not one that sits on the sidelines. His character is billed as an Asian-American protagonist finding his identity amidst the \u201cplot of romantic quandary places Aaron (Wynn) squarely in the middle as the object of desire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn Wynn has that star quality that captivates you from the moment he\u2019s first on screen,\u201d notes Catch 22 Head of Marketing Susan Wrenn, who in her former post at Paramount Pictures shepherded the media campaigns for such youth-oriented cinematic fare as Wayne\u2019s World, Save the Last Dance, Jackass, Rugrats, Kings of Comedy, Mission Impossible, and Beavis and Butthead. \u201cHis performance showcases not only a keen dramatic sense as well as athletic prowess, but also demonstrates his universal appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wynn was born to a Vietnamese mother and a half Vietnamese, half French father. He is also a musician, model, singer and TV show host.<\/p>\n<p>The film will be released later this year. <\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/x0Si3mxtC68?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/x0Si3mxtC68?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia-born Vietnamese-American actor, John Wynn, has landed the starring role in an upcoming film about high school wrestlers.
