Danny Chan

Danny Chan Kwok-kwan has the most fascinating burden in Hong Kong cinema: he looks uncannily like Bruce Lee, and he's built a real career on it, playing Lee in The Legend of Bruce Lee and in Ip Man 3 and 4. What elevates it past mimicry, for me, is that he's an actual Jeet Kune Do practitioner, so the movement is rooted, not faked. Carrying someone else's legend is a strange, pressured way to make a living, yet he's done it with dignity. I have a soft spot for these committed, physically literate performers who turn a resemblance into genuine craft.
