The comradery so common in military units made for instant chemistry both on and off camera, and the opportunity to work with veterans who had already taken on bigger projects provided an unparalleled experience for me to hone my own skillset to match a production of this scale. JOHN: Honestly, this was the first role I’ve ever booked outside of commercial work, so I had no idea what to expect and I was extremely nervous – but it didn’t take long to realize that I had landed in the familiar ground of being amongst fellow service members. How was it to work alongside so many fellow military veterans? And, do you think that added to the authenticity of the show? His worst? Well, that he’s “Crazy” of course. Working within such an elite team means Crazy is prepared to do whatever it takes the ensure his brothers go home to their families at the end of the day. JOHN: HRT recruits from the best of the best, so Crazy’s signature skillset is his devotion to the task at hand and to his HRT teammates. What would you consider Crazy’s ‘best’ quality? And his ‘worst’? So when Chris Pratt’s character, Naval Commander James Reece, starts setting off explosives and carrying out his vendetta right on the street of San Francisco, ‘Crazy’ gets deployed on American soil to help hunt him down. What I think is the coolest feature of these real-life teams is they recruit exclusively from former Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and other special operations units. HRT is an actual unit called in for high-risk missions involving terrorists and hostage situations on American soil. JOHN: ‘Crazy’ is part of an elite FBI task force called HRT (Hostage Rescue Team).

John Adkins recently answered some questions for FanPop: And, when he’s not on-set, John puts his time to good use working at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in West Los Angeles. At 6’5”, he brings tons of natural talent, combined with hands-on military knowledge and athletic skills, including basketball, cross-fit and Muay Thai. It was when John joined a class at The Los Angeles Film School on filmmaking that he got his first taste of acting.
Stationed for six years at Los Angeles Air Force Base, he also earned his college undergrad degree before getting a Master of Business for Veterans at the University of Southern California. After growing up on a military base, Adkins went on to enlist in the Air Force. While the role marks John’s television debut, he is certainly no stranger to the military. The team is called in to take down James Reece after he starts his revenge tour. Korean-American actor John Adkins portrays Isaac ‘Crazy’ Kim, a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team (HRT). Faced with accusations of culpability, Reece is hell bent on finding out what happened and seeks revenge on those responsible for destroying his life.

First it was Jack Carr’s best-selling book, then it premiered as Amazon’s #1 drama series of the summer – we’re talking about “The Terminal List” starring Chris Pratt.
