Bruce Lee:Acting Career



Lee Hoi-Chuen, Bruce Lee's father was a famous Cantonese Opera star. That's was when Bruce was introduced to films and at an extremely young age as well. Lee's first role was when he was only a few weeks old, playing the role of a female baby. By the time Bruce Lee turned 18, he already appeared in 20 films. Out of all the films he appeared in, he has only been in one with his father. In 1965, Willaim Dozier invited Bruce to an audition and Lee showed off his lightning fast speed that he soon got the minor role of Kato, in the show "The Green Hornet". The show didn't last long and was eventually cancelled in 1 season airing from 1966-1967. Bruce Lee also played Kato in the crossovers with the Batman show. Bruce also had guest appearances in shows such as "Ironside" in 1967, "Marlowe" in 1969, and "Here Comes The Brides" in 1969. Lee appeared in 4 episodes of "Ironside", playing as the martial arts instructor.
