The iron chefs come in; they&#x27;ve got energy running and emotions running. The challenger chefs come in, same thing. And then the crew,&quot; the Filipino American actor shared.</p><p>&quot;During the 60 minutes of the battle, we don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s going to happen. We can’t rehearse that. So for 60 minutes, which is the peak of the show right there, we have to be fully present and mindful of everything.&quot;</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Mark Dacascos photo.

I love the diversity. I love being able to come to Kitchen Stadium and play The Chairman and be surrounded by incredible culinary talent and then go to John Wick and have the acting and martial talent there. I feel so blessed,&quot; Dacascos said.</p><p>He also admitted, &quot;I get nervous every time I go to work because I&#x27;m fortunate to get to work with the people, artists at the top of their game, and I feel like every day, it&#x27;s like a masterclass in wherever I&#x27;m at, whether it&#x27;s at Kitchen Stadium, or on the set of John Wick 3.&quot;</p><p>The actor added that he will be joining the action series &#x27;Warrior&#x27; in its upcoming third season on HBO Max.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend poster" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/tfc/06/13/iron-chef-poster.jpg"/><figcaption><em>Courtesy: Netflix &quot;Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend&quot;</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>The new Iron Chef premieres on Netflix on June 15.
