Personal Quote:

I used to cry when I watched Chaplin's films. It was from him that I learned about the role of the underdog. And because I'm also from a poor family, this kind of thing moved me and I found that it also worked for the audience because most of them are like me - ordinary guys. See more »

Trivia:

His parents couldn't afford kung fu lessons, therefore he taught himself from watching TV. See more »
