My Take
Brandon Lee's story hits me harder than almost any in Hollywood. The son of Bruce Lee could have coasted on imitation; instead he studied at Emerson College, honed his own screen presence, and stood on the verge of real stardom with The Crow when a preventable on-set accident took him at 28. What I admire is the path he was choosing: not a tribute act to his father, but a darker, more interior kind of action hero. The Crow remains haunting precisely because it doubles as his farewell. I think of him whenever film-set safety makes the news; his loss should never have happened.
