Answer: Linden Ashby

Ashby, born in 1960 in Atlantic Beach, Florida, landed the part of Johnny Cage. Johnny was an actor who was informed about the Mortal Kombat tournament by a colleague while filming a scene one day. Johnny went to the pier to board the boat to be taken to where the tournament was held. Along the way, he bickered with Sonya Blade but the two grew to like each other as the movie progressed. Johnny Cage had his first match with Scorpion whom he managed to defeat. After a friend of his was killed by one of Shang Tsung's confidants, Goro, Johnny Cage asked Shang Tsung if he could fight Goro. Shang Tsung approved the fight and it was at the beginning of it where he took off his sunglasses only to see Goro take them and crush them. Johnny ran away so Goro followed him and they fought alongside a mountain ledge. Johnny sideswiped Goro and he slipped over the ledge but managed to grab on to it. Johnny watched as Goro lost his grip and fell to his death. Ashby guest starred on the TV show "CSI: Miami". From 1997 to 1998, he played Dr. Brett Cooper on the primetime soap opera "Melrose Place". From 2003 to 2004, he portrayed Cameron Kirsten on the CBS daytime drama series "The Young and the Restless".

Note: All the moves seen in this movie are taken from the games except the Ice Sphere.

Everyone falls on their knees, except Liu who doesn't recognize Rayden as God of Thunder. He calls him just a beggar. Rayden wants Liu to show him how he is going to win. Liu wants to throw himself at Rayden, but he is held by one of the monks. This is how Rayden responds.
