- Gustavo Andres Rilo Lacquaniti was born on May 29th, 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Going by the name Andrew Dasz, he began training in Tae Kwon Do (ITF) at the age of 10 after being inspired by watching Chuck Norris on TV. His studies continued on in 1993, where he practiced Ving Tsun Kung Fu and Hung Gar.
In the same year, Andrew began working as a model for martial-arts related mediums. This created an interest in working with cameras as well as other types of media.
In 1997, Andrew moved to São Paulo, Brasil, and continued training Ving Tsun Kung Fu under Master Leo Imamura, at Moy Yat Ving Tsun Martial Intelligence.
Dasz moved to Madrid, Spain, in 2005 to work with his twin bother at a fight choreographer's group. He also began taking acting and modeling courses the following year to expand on his abilities both on and off the screen. Using the skills that he had acquired over the years, Andrew was able to become a fight choreographer, traveling around the world and doing what he loved.
Since then, Dasz has trained several actors while appearing in several films himself. He currently lives in Hong Kong where he is a personal trainer as well as martial arts instructor, where he teaches various martial arts to eager students each day of the week.
Andrew has trained in Tae Kwon Do, Ving Tsun Kung Fu, Hung Kuen, Lion Dance, Aikido, Kick Boxing, Muay Thai and Boxing. He also studied the Frank Dux System of stretching and can speak Spanish, Portugese, English and basic Chinese. He hopes to continue working in the film industry to hone his skills and create more of his own project, including a sequel to his film Stunt Games.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Martial Arts Movie Junkie

- El fracaso jamas te sorprendera si tu voluntad de vencer se mantiene suficientemente fuerte. ["The failure will surprise you if you ever will to win remains strong enough."]
- I was born in Argentina but lived 7 years in Brazil. I love the Brazilian culture .. If you are willing to "exchange" and "learn" soon you would feel part of Brazil. A country at first strange, but now, the "stranger" is now my home country.
- I do everything in my life to stay healthy with nutrition and exercise. Macrobiotic, Vegetarian and right now a diet where I don't mix Carbohydrates and protein. My training is the street. I am an urban athlete... Ride a bike, take stars, walk, runn, jump rope, etc. I am also a Kung Fu Instructor (Ving Tsun & Hung Gar) and Personal Trainer in Hong Kong. Every week I train diferent styles of chinese martial arts.
- That was when I was 10 years old. In fact, after watching a movie with Chuck Norris on TV, my father encouraged me to practice martial arts. Since that age I stopped to play football(soccer) and dedicated myself entirely to Tae Kwon Do.
- For a martial artist I think it's very important to be involved in constant development. Normally you see basic level students develop more than advanced level ones, because they have more motivation. When you start anything it's new of course but for older students, they may think they have nothing new to discover. But this is the wrong attitude, you always have something to learn.This is how I feel, having trained in martial arts for almost 25 years.Maybe one of the most important aspects is the daily hard work. This is something I picked up from my father, training hard, enjoying feeling tired and exhausted. Martial arts training is like therapy for me, and it helps me to get to know myself better.
