Jon T. Benn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jon T. Benn is an actor, who most notably played the mob boss in Way of the Dragon.
He wrote a book in reference to Bruce Lee, "Remembering Bruce Lee" and subsequently opened a restaurant in Hong Kong, called "the Bruce Lee Cafe".[1]
He is considered also as the only person who asked Chuck Norris, and got an answer, as to whom (Bruce or Chuck) had a better outcome in a martial art sparring, to which Norris answered Lee.[2]
When I was having dinner with Chuck [Norris] I did ask him: "If you and Bruce would be in a real fight to death, who would win?", and he said without thinking: "Bruce of course. Nobody can beat him". Jon Benn, in audio commentary on DVD of The Way of the Dragon (US title: Return of the Dragon).
