Bruce Lee

Also known as Lee Jun-fan

Bruce Lee was a Hong Kong and American martial artist, actor, and filmmaker.

With a career spanning Hong Kong and the United States, Lee is regarded as the first global Chinese film star and one of the most influential martial artists in the history of cinema. Known for his roles in five feature-length martial arts films, he is credited with helping to popularize martial arts films in the 1970s and promoting Hong Kong action cinema.
