Chuck Zito, martial artist and former bodyguard, shared insights into his acting career and a notorious nightclub altercation with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Zito's unlikely transition into acting began in 1996 when he was cast on the HBO series "Oz." However, Zito also addressed a well-publicized incident in 1998 when he confronted Jean-Claude Van Damme at a nightclub. They had not seen each other since Zito worked as Van Damme's bodyguard in 1992. After being told Van Damme made derogatory remarks about him, Zito confronted the actor, leading to a physical altercation that made headlines. Although Zito expressed regret for the publicity it garnered, he later joked about the incident on Howard Stern's show. It took 17 years for Zito and Van Damme to reconcile.
