Bruce Lee - (Chinese: 李小龍), was a Chinese-American martial artist, actor, director, martial arts instructor and philosopher. He is credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.
Jackie Chan began studying martial arts, drama, acrobatics and singing at age seven. Once considered a likely successor to Bruce Lee in Hong Kong cinema, Chan instead developed his own style of martial arts blended with screwball physical comedy. He became a huge star throughout Asia and went on to have hits in the United States as well.
