Asian-American actor who was the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee. Lee began performing in regional theater while still in high school. After studying theater in college, Lee recieved his first break when cast as Kung Fu: The Movie (1986), the TV revival of the popular ABC series of the 1970's. He portrayed an assassin on the trail of David Carradine's Caine. (Ironically, the role of Caine was originally concieved for Bruce Lee). Lee made his feature film debut in that same year in Legacy of Rage (1986), after which he appeared in two little seen action films before breaking into the mainstream with Rapid Fire, a standard genre entry that signalled Lee's arrival as an action star with considerable global potential. Tragically, it was to be Lee's last fully completed film.

Lee was nearing the end of principal photography on his next film, a supernatural thriller titled The Crow (1994) when he was accidently shot and killed by another actor using a prop pistol that had not been properly inspected prior to filming. An investigation later revealed that a fragment of bullet had lodged itself in the gun's chamber and was expelled by the blast of a blank catridge, striking Lee with deadly force.

Lee was buried beside his father in Seattle, Washington. Because most of his scenes in The Crow had been completed, the film-in which Lee played rock star who, quite ironically, returns from the dead to avenge his murder -was eventually finished, but its release was postphoned until mid-1994.
