He is a martial artist.
Well I will introduce his as a martial artist than a actor because I believe that he is so talented as a martial artist and being a actor is just a side effect of his martial artist talents.
It doesn't mean that he is untalented as a actor. He is so good a actor and for me he is the best martial-artist actor in these days and there are few who are nearly as talented as him.
The first ever film I watched of him is "The twin worriers!" Which is also known as "Thai chi 1". It was years back and probably years before he enter the territory of Hollywood. He then make a good progress by staring in plenty of action packed movies like "Body guard" and lately "The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor".

Recently I watched a TV programme about this great man and developed a interest to follow his carrier and find out more about him. It is a vary fascinating story. It is no need to say how honored he is about his artistic works. The life story of him which he begin as a painter was something exciting.
He in his life as archived many milestones which would be a dream for any producer in the cinematic world. It is as a found out not very hard to find out information about this fascinating character as there are many sources to follow. So I am not going to post a complete biography about him from somewhere. Instead I will try to post as many as links as possible to watch his films or at least parts of them. Hope you will all enjoy it.
