Who are 10 of the most famous Asians?

Answer 1

Well, if you are asking who the 10 most famous Asians are that is a hard question to answer. Stars in Asia, particularly in India and China, may be more popular there than Asian actors are in the western world. Remember, there are three and a half billion of them and barely one billion of us. But if you are asking on a world-wide scale, then I'd say that these particular Asians would make the top 10:

1. Bruce Lee (When we think Martial Arts, we instantly think Bruce Lee. He broke the stereotype that Asians could not make it big in Hollywood and was a pioneer in his own right.)
2. Jackie Chan (Arguably the most famous Asian alive today)
3. Jet Li (Though he may be on par with Chan in Asia, he is quickly gaining popularity in the western world)
4. Lucy Liu (The beautiful actress remembered for her typical roles as a strong Asian woman with the tools to kill anyone she pleases and lots of sex appeal)
5. George Takei (He is remembered for his role as Sulu in Star Trek and has made his mark in the world as the man with an unforgettable voice)
6. Yao Ming (Who can honestly forget one of the tallest men on the planet? Not only is he a very tall man, but he's also a Chinese man who plays for the NBA... that in itself commands respect)
7. Zhang Ziyi (At the very mention of her name, we think "That girl from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!" For all of us, we know her as "the hot Chinese chick who can kick our butts")
8. Masi Oka (The new and loveable Heroescharacter, Hiro Nakamura, has elevated him to the top of the world as one of television's most recognizable faces)
9. Chow Yun Fat (You may not know all of his work, but you know his name and you know his face... and if you're a Pirates of the Caribbean fan, you know who he is)
10. Gong Li (At times she is credited with being China's leading actress and has recently broken into western theaters and films)

Others I think could be swapped for a top 10 spot are:

• Michelle Yeoh (Actress)
• Manny Pacquiao (Boxer)
• Pat Morita (Actor)
• Kelly Hu (Actress)
• Kim Jong-Il (World Leader)
• Dalip Singh Rana (Professional Wrestler/Actor)
• Michelle Branch (Singer)
• Tiger Woods (Athlete)
• Jason Scott Lee (Actor)
• Maggie Q (Actress)
• Ang Lee (Director)
• James Hong (Actor)
• Ken Watanabe (Actor)
• Charice (singer)
• Lea Salonga (singer)
