Brandon Bruce Lee (李國豪; Cantonese: Léi Gwokhòu; Pinyin: Lǐ Guóháo; February 1, 1965 - March 31, 1993) was an American actor. He was the son of the late legendary martial arts film star Bruce Lee and Linda Lee Cadwell and the brother of actress Shannon Lee.
Brandon Lee (b. March 18, 1979), born Jon Enriquez, is a gay Asian American pornographic actor. He took his "screen name" from Brandon Lee, the deceased son of martial arts actor Bruce Lee. Brandon Lee, however, is of Chinese-Filipino descent. Lee also performed under the name Sean Martinez early in his career.
Lee appeared in pornographic movies exclusively as a top, until 2005.
Is the biggest Asian hardcore gay pornstar.
Is of Filipino descent.
He was born on February 1, 1965 to Bruce Lee (I) (Martial Arts idol) and Linda Lee. Brother to Shannon Lee. In 1965 they moved to Hong Kong where Brandon became fluent in Cantonese by the age of 8. He attended Boston's Art-Oriented Emerson College in Massachusetts. He studied Martial Arts and drama, like his father. In 1983 he was expelled from school because of misbehaviour, but received his diploma at Miraleste High school. He was in "Rapid Fire", "Showdown Little Tokyo", and a few more films, including "The Crow". He turned down offers to be in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee story". Bruce died (while filming) at the age of 32, of what is to be believed, a brain hemmorage. Brandon died at the age of 28 on the set of "The Crow". While filming one scene, where he gets shot repetitively, the cap of a blank (which shoots harmlessly) accidently got lodged in his spine after penetrating his abdomen. The doctors worked desperately for five hours, but it was no use. He was pronounced dead at 1:04 pm the next day. He was supposed to marry Eliza Hutton on April 17. His body was flown to Seattle to be buried beside his father in Lake View Cemetery.
Born in Oakland, California, USA, Brandon Lee spent the first eight years of his life in Hong Kong. By the time he was able to walk, he was already involved in learning about martial arts from his father, martial arts expert and famed actor Bruce Lee. After Bruce Lee's untimely death, Brandon, his mother Linda (an American of Swedish heritage), and his sister Shannon moved to Los Angeles. He attended high school in Los Angeles, where he realized that he had also inherited acting ability along with his martial arts skills. He continued his education and interest in acting at Emerson College in Massachusetts, where he majored in theatre. Having chosen an acting career, Lee took his work seriously. He studied at the Strasberg Academy, with Eric Morris in New York and in Los Angeles, and in Lynette Katselas' class in Los Angeles. His first professional job as an actor came at age twenty, when casting director Lynn Stalmaster asked him to read for a CBS television film, "Kung Fu: The Movie." Lee's first role in a feature film was "Legacy of Rage" for D.M. Films of Hong Kong, followed by a co-starring role in "Showdown in Little Tokyo."
Was born to Bruce Lee (I) and Linda Lee Cadwell, on 1st February 1965. When his father died he moved to Seattle with his mother and Sister 'Shannon Lee'. He attended several high schools but was expelled due to bad behavior -- on one occasion he drove his car in reverse through oncoming traffic. While at one school he was president of the student union. Upon finding out about the death of Beatle John Lennon (I) in December 1980, Brandon dismissed all of his grade out of respect to Lennon, however the principal didn't share his good nature and expelled Brandon from the school. He restarted his Martial Arts at age 18 where he met fellow stunt choreographer and future best friend Jeff Imada. It upset Brandon to see all the posters of his Dad in the Dan Insano Academy and so he quit. For the next couple of years Brandon was more interested in soccer and basketball than Martial Arts. But once again at age 20 he took up and excelled in certain types of Martial Arts including Thai Kick-Boxing, Jeet Kune Do, and Yee Chuen Tao. His first movie role was in the 'David Carridine' movie Kung Fu: The Movie (1986) (TV), followed by Cantonese film Long zai jiang hu (1986). Next was a movie fimed in Africa, Laser Mission (1990), which was follwed by his American Movie Debut as a co-star to Dolph Lundgren in _Showdown in Little Tokyo(1991)_. His first movie as the star was Rapid Fire (1992) where his co-stars were 'Powers Booth' and Nick Mancuso. Brandon played a guy on the wrong side of two different gangs each wanting him for a murder he witnessed, and the FBI. But his breakthrough movie was next, the movie that was to catapult him to stardom and onto better things, the Gothic Thriller Crow, The (1994), where he plays a murdered rockstar back from the dead to avenge his and his fiances' murder. Apart from all the darkness and violence in the movie there is actually a romantic theme to it -- Brandon played the role beautifully and this is where he really began to shine as a promising actor. He was to be married on April 17th 1993 to his fiance Eliza Hutton in New Mexico Two weeks after filming wrapped. On March 31st 1993, the 52nd day of a 58 day shoot, Brandon prepared to film his first real scene without make up on. The scene was to explain how he and his onscreen fiance' were murdered. It was recalled as a strange day because the way the two characters were to be killed was changed several times before they decided that Eric Draven (Lee) was to enter his apartment and come across his fiance' being beaten by four thugs, upon which one was to turn and shoot Eric and leave him wounded. The cameras began to role and Brandon entered the apartment in character. The Michael Massee character, Fun Boy spots Eric, holds the gun up and shoots as planned, Brandon held his stomach, motioned to the director to 'Cut' then fell backwards against the door. Seconds later the director Alex Proyas shouted 'CUT', Brandon remained on the floor, Jeff Imada ran over to Brandon with a paramedic to see if he'd hit his head on the door when he fell and knocked himself out. They discovered a thin slit an inch below to the right of his navel, but this didn't hold any clues as to what happened. They removed Brandon's jacket and spotted a hole in his T-shirt. By this time Brandon had slipped into unconciousness. An ambulance was called and Brandon was rushed to hospital. He underwent 5 hours of surgery upon which they discovered a bullet had been the cause of the damage. Eliza Hutton made it to the hospital just in time, at 1:04pm Brandon Lee died. His funeral was held days later -- over 400 people attended, including 'David Carridine',David Hasselhoff and Kiefer Sutherland. Both Brandon's closest friends and Fight choreographers Jeff Imada and Jeff Cadiente were so shocked they couldn't speak, Linda reminded everyone "Brandon would want this to be a happy occasion, we are here to celebrate his life".
