Career

Chan started his career as a lead singer for rock band named "Poet". Thereafter, Chan subsequently played minor roles in Hong Kong films.[2] Chan first came to prominence for acting in two Hong Kong films directed by Stephen Chow - as the goalkeeper "Empty Hand" in Shaolin Soccer (2001), and as the Axe Gang boss Brother Sum in Kung Fu Hustle (2004). In 2008, due to his resemblance to Bruce Lee in appearance, he was chosen to portray Lee in the biographical television series The Legend of Bruce Lee.[2][1] Chan reprises his role as Lee in the 2015 film, Ip Man 3, which is loosely based on the life of Lee's mentor.
