Biography

The similarity in name and physique has led some people to mistakenly assume that actor Jason Scott Lee is in some way related to the late and legendary Bruce Lee; indeed, he is not. Confusion was compounded when Lee starred in the moderately acclaimed 1993 biopic Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993). It is possible that the younger Lee's "association" with Bruce has prevented him from getting parts of wider range. Lee also starred in the notorious Kevin Reynolds-directed Easter Island fiasco Rapa Nui (1994), and garnered positive reviews for his work in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1994). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
