He has been a student of kung-fu and won hop kuen (his parents are both martial arts masters) for most of his life, and at age nine he won an international tournament.

His family moved frequently while he was young, and he became fluent in Mandarin, Chinese and German. Due to his expertise in martial arts, martial arts movies make up the bulk of his film career.

Dacascos made his acting debut in the 1984 film "Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart", however his role never made the final cut of the film as it was deleted before its ultimate release. Between that film and his 1990 movie "Angel Town", in which he appeared alongside Olivier Grenier, he provided some stunt work for the 1987 movie "Steel Justice".

His breakthrough role (or sorts) came with "Double Dragon" (1994), based on the popular video game in which Dacascos starred as Jimmy Lee. The movie was a box office flop and eventually was panned by critics and moviegoers alike.

Nevertheless, he has kept busy over the past decade, thanks to such successful films as "Crying Freeman"(1995),"Drive" (1997), "Boogie Boy" (1997), "No Code of Conduct"(1998), "The Base"(1999) and "China Strike Force" (2000), with a theatrical career with supporting roles in "The Island of Dr. Moreau" (1996), "Brotherhood of the Wolf"(2001) and "Cradle 2 the Grave" (2003).
