Bruce Lee (real name: 李振藩 Lee Jun Fan; screen name: 李小龍) is widely considered to be the greatest martial arts actor of the 20th century. His films, especially the last one, Enter the Dragon, elevated the by-then traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level, and artists like Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris have been able to work from this platform.
Born in San Francisco, USA, Lee was raised in Hong Kong. His parents were film actors, hence he got the opportunities to appear on several Chinese movies when he was a kid. He returned to the US as a young man and starred as the oriental sidekick Kato in the television series The Green Hornet. On his return to Hong Kong, he starred in the movies that would cement his fame.
Bruce Lee died in 1973.
