Who Is Who : Brandon Bruce Lee ( 李國豪 )

Brandon Bruce Lee (February 1, 1965 – March 31, 1993) was an American actor and martial artist. He was the son of martial arts film star Bruce Lee, and the grandson of Cantonese opera singer Lee Hoi-Chuen. Starting his career with a supporting role in Kung Fu: The Movie in 1986, he appeared in a handful of action films before he died in an accident while filming The Crow.

The film was released posthumously after a stunt double and special effects were used to complete the film. Brandon Lee was born in Oakland, California, the son of martial artist and actor Bruce Lee and Linda Emery.

The family moved to Los Angeles, California when he was three months old, but they spent some of his early years in Hong Kong as well.

They lived briefly in his mother's hometown of Seattle, Washington, and then in Los Angeles, where Lee grew up in the affluent area of Rolling Hills.
