Danny Chan, also known as Chan Kwok-Kwan (simplified Chinese: 陈国坤; traditional Chinese: 陳國坤; born August 1, 1975) is a Hong Kong male actor, dance choreographer and lead singer of his rock band 'Poet'. He has been in both of Stephen Chow's box office smash movies Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. He bears a striking resemblance to the late kung fu legend Bruce Lee, and plays up to this in his role as the goal keeper in Shaolin Soccer. This role had shot him up to fame. Because of his striking resemblance to Lee, he was chosen to play Lee in a television series titled The Legend of Bruce Lee in 2008. [1] Chan is currently working on the Hong Kong-Chinese-Taiwanese-Singaporean production Spirit of Fight to honor the 70th birth anniversary of Bruce Lee. While not a biographical film of Lee, the film instead showcase the spirit in Lee's Jeet Kune Do. A teaser trailer was released on 27 November 2010, which was Lee's 70th birthday. It was a promo trailer with footage that is not going to be in the actual film. It is set to be released in 2011.[2][3][4]
Chan is also a practitioner of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.
