Jackie Chan (Actor) .. Eddie Yang
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.
Lee Evans (Actor) .. Arthur Watson
Born: February 25, 1964 in Bristol
Best Known For: Becoming one of the biggest comedy stars of his generation.
Early-life: Born on February 25, 1964, in Bristol, England, the son of Dave Evans, a Welsh nightclub performer; his mother Shirley is Irish. He has an older brother called Wayne. After a spell as a boxer and two years at Thurrock Art College in Essex, he followed his father into entertainment. Lee moved to Scarborough and had a stint as a drummer in a punk band before turning to comedy. His brand of physical humour has drawn comparisons with Norman Wisdom right from the start of the career, but he claims he is not an inspiration. Evans rose to fame during the 1990s with loud, sweaty, energetic stage performances featuring physical comedy.
Career: Evans rose to fame in the 1990s, and won the 1993 Perrier Comedy Award for his Edinburgh Festival Show. He has gone on to become one of Britain's most celebrated comics. In November 2005, he broke the world record for a solo act performing to the biggest comedy audience. He took his Roadrunner stand-up act on the road in 2011 and played more than 50 dates around the UK. He has also had significant big-screen success, with several British TV vehicles and scene-stealing turns in American hits such as There's Something About Mary and Mousehunt. His low-budget comedy Funny Bones is gaining status as a classic and he has been a hit on the West End stage in several roles.
Quote: On being asked for advice for young comics: 'Breathe! 'Cause if you're still breathing, you've still got a chance! That's the only advice I can offer because as for the rest... it's a nightmare!'
Trivia: Evans is known for sweating a lot during performances. He claims he showers and changes during each intermission and wears every suit just three times - dry cleaners refuse to handle them.
