Dragon Lee

Dragon Lee (born August 12 1958 in South Korea), is an actor and practitioner of Taekwondo and Hapkido.

His birth name is Moon Kyoung-seok but has been called Keo Ryong in South Korea. Soon after his birth, his family relocated to the former U.S.S.R where he was given the name Vyachaslev Yaksysnyi. His family remained there until Lee was a teenager after then they relocated to South Korea.

After that he studied taekwondo with friend and actor Kim Tai Chung It was at this stage of his life that Lee began studying also the Korean martial art of hapkido under the direction of Hwang In-Shik.

Once Lee was in a theater, a man told him he resembled Bruce Lee. That was a big compliment because Bruce Lee was popular at the time. That man knew film directors in Hong Kong and helped him with his career.

In his early twenties, Dragon Lee moved to Hong Kong and starred in numerous martial arts films, often credited as Bruce Lei because he bore a striking resemblance to the late actor Bruce Lee. Among his many film credits is the semi-documentary The Real Bruce Lee (1973).

Dragon Lee moved back to Seoul, South Korea, and is a television actor and producer.
