More Information
Did You Know..
Jackie Chan
(Actor)
.. Ngoc Minh Quan
Born:
April 07, 1954
in
Hong Kong
Best Known For:
His death-defying stunts.
Early-life:
Born Chan Kong-sang on April 7, 1954, in Hong Kong. He lived in Canberra, Australia, as a child while his parents worked at the American Embassy. At the age of six they sent him to the China Drama Academy, also known as the Opera School, where he was trained in music, dance, and traditional martial arts. A visiting film-maker offered him a tiny part in a movie, and soon afterwards Chan quit the school to concentrate on acting. He later returned to Australia, where he worked as a construction worker and gained the nickname Jackie, after a colleague.
Career:
Chan had small roles in Bruce Lee movies Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon, and also did stunt work and directed projects. After Lee died, Chan decided he didn't want to imitate him, so he developed his own film-making style, a mixture of action and comedy inspired by Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. By the 1980s, he was Asia's biggest star, and tried to break the US market by appearing in The Cannonball Run and its sequel. These days, Chan is a global superstar thanks to such movies as Rush Hour and Shanghai Knights and their sequels, and The Forbidden Kingdom, Kung Fu Panda, The Spy Next Door and the remake of The Karate Kid. In 2012 Chan announced he would be cutting down on the number of stunts he would perform in an attempt to take better care of himself.
Quote:
'I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan'.
Trivia:
He was awarded the MBE in 1989.

Early-life:
Pierce Brendan Brosnan was born on May 16, 1953, in Drogheda, Ireland. His parents separated when he was a baby, and he was raised by relatives in Navan (which he considers his hometown) from the age of four while his mother trained as a nurse in England. They were reunited in 1964, settling in Putney, west London, with his mother's second husband. Pierce was bulled at school because of his Irish accent. He later trained as a commercial artist, but switched to acting after becoming involved with a theatre group.
Career:
Brosnan's first roles came on stage at York Theatre Royal. He was chosen by Tennessee Williams to star in the West End debut of his play The Red Devil Battery Sign. He followed by his movie debut in Resting Rough in 1979. He made appearances in The Professionals, Hammer House of Horror, The Long Good Friday and Manions of America before moving to Hollywood. He was in the TV show Remington Steele for five years, which prevented him taking over from Roger Moore as 007 in 1986. Low-budget movies followed until Bond came calling again in 1995. His last 007 movie, Die Another Day, was released in 2002. He runs his own production company, Irish DreamTime. Among his best non-Bond movies are The Thomas Crown Affair remake, The Matador, Seraphim Falls, The Ghost, Love is All You Need, The Love Punch, A Long Way Down and Mamma Mia!

'To my eye, women get sexier around 35. They know a thing or two, and knowledge is always alluring.'
