Joseph Hyungmin Son (Korean: 손형민; born November 22, 1970) is a convicted felon, former actor, and former mixed martial artist, kickboxer, and professional wrestler.

[citation needed] After his fight in UFC, Son competed in a match for the K-1 Kickboxing federation, facing established star Nobuaki Kakuda.

The much heavier Son initially led the pace with body shots and knees, scoring a mild knockdown by right hook, but he was eventually knocked out by Kakuda via high kick and punches.

He infamously wore a leopard thong with the PRIDE logo and sported eye makeup, as well as a bowler hat at his entrance, and hugged Imamura during the staredown.

[6] Son would return to PRIDE in July, facing Jukei Nakajima, and he once again gave up after being injured by being thrown on his head by the Japanese fighter.

[8] Apart from his criminal convictions, Son is known for his role in the 1997 movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery as Random Task, a parody of the James Bond character Oddjob.

Previously, Son had appeared in several low-budget action films, including Joshua Tree (1993) and Bloodfist V: Human Target (1994).

On August 18, 2008, he was taken into custody and given an additional 90 days in jail for failing to report to the Department of Probation and keep them informed of his current residence.

[3][14] However, before jury selection could begin for his trial in August 2011, the charges against Son were dropped having expired due to the statute of limitations on rape and kidnapping.

[12] In an interrogation video filmed by the Huntington Beach Police Department,[16] Son touts his acting career, but denied the crime or any contact with the victim, which he maintained to his trial.

During the trial, the Orange County District Attorney's Office maintained that Son and his co-defendant pistol-whipped, tortured and repeatedly sexually assaulted their female victim before releasing her with her pants tied around her eyes.

[11] Less than a month later, Son was accused of killing his cellmate, Michael Graham, who was serving two years for failure to register as a sex offender.
