He is best known for his role as Bayu in Conan the Adventurer and for his motion capture performances in Tron: Legacy, Captain America: Civil War, Deadpool, and as Godzilla in the Monsterverse franchise.

Early life

Storm was born Juan Ricardo Ojeda, the son of a Puerto Rican mother and African-American father in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was put up for adoption and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii by a Caucasian mother of Native American descent and Mexican-American father. As a child, his adoptive mother wanted to keep him occupied, so he took up dancing and martial arts as a way to balance himself. He went on to study Arashi-Ryu Karate, Taekwondo, Ninjutsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Northern Shaolin, and mastered forms of hip hop dancing and breakdancing. The surname "Storm" supposedly originated from a nickname and is related to one of the karate styles he trained in.

Career

Storm has starred in several major projects including Conan the Adventurer, Punisher: War Zone, Green Lantern, Avatar, Jack the Giant Slayer, and The Martial Arts Kid. He has also provided voice acting and motion capture for a variety of video games.
