Timeline

1968

Yayan Ruhian (born 19 October 1968) is an Indonesian martial artist and actor.

Yayan Ruhian was born in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia on 19 October 1968.

By the age of 13, hoping to "show his masculinity", he began studying the traditional martial art pencak silat; his father had practiced karate.

Yayan Ruhian trained with what later became Pencak Silat Tenaga Dasar, eventually becoming a trainer, and referee although he later learned that this disqualified him from participating in tournaments.

2000

By the mid-2000s Yayan Ruhian had taught pencak silat in countries such as Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, and also learned several further martial arts techniques, such as aikido.

He also worked as a hand-to-hand instructor for the Indonesian National Police.

2008

In 2008, Yayan Ruhian was asked by Gareth Evans to help with the choreography for his film Merantau.

He also auditioned for the role of Eric, later stating that he did not care if he was cast, so long as he did his best.

2009

He received the part, and Merantau was released in 2009.

In the film, his character, an antagonistic and diminutive martial artist, is capable of overcoming a considerably larger man in moments.

Afterwards, he had several people approach him and ask to study silat, although some called him Eric.

2011

He is known for co-starring in Gareth Evans' films The Raid (2011) as Mad Dog, The Raid 2 (2014) as Prakoso, Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) as Tasu Leech, and Beyond Skyline (2017) as the police chief.

Yayan Ruhian played Mad Dog in Evans' 2011 film The Raid, and handled the fight choreography together with costar Iko Uwais.

Evans described the character as "such an unrelenting, cold, irredeemable psychopath that when he kills someone, he wants to feel it", such that he would rather kill a man bare-handed than shoot him.

Manohla Dargis of The New York Times described the character as the film's stand-out, "a commanding physical presence".

After this performance, Yayan's likeness and the term gereget (used by his character) became a memetic image macro on the internet.

2012

The magazine Tempo reported in June 2012 that Yayan and Iko had gone to Hollywood to handle choreography for an American remake of the film.

2014

In a 2014 interview, Yayan Ruhian stated that he did not mind the memes, as the individuals posting them could not create such macros if they had not seen the film.

Evans' 2014 release, The Raid 2, Yayan Ruhian cast as Prakoso, an assassin and confidant of mafia kingpin Bangun (Tio Pakusadewo).

Recognising that Yayan Ruhian had already been identified with Mad Dog, Evans emphasized that Prakoso was a new character: a failed father and husband, aged sixty, who is nevertheless a faithful employee.

As with the earlier film, Yayan worked with Iko Uwais on choreography.

Charlotte O'Sullivan of the London Evening Standard found Yayan's portrayal of Prakoso "sublime", writing that "when his body starts flying through the air, you feel as if you’re reading his life story".

In mid-2014 it was announced that Yayan Ruhian would appear in Takashi Miike's Yakuza Apocalypse: The Great War of the Underworld, playing alongside Hayato Ichihara as Kyoken.
