Trivia:
According to Bruce Lee's wife, Linda Lee Cadwell, the concept of the Kung Fu series was conceived by Bruce, and met with the producers for countless hours to shape the show. But the producers did not offer the role to Bruce Lee since they did not feel that the American audience (at that time) would accept a Chinese actor as a lead, therefore looked for a Caucasian actor to fill the role. moreFAQ

'KUNG FU was a martial arts show about an asian drifter who was part american the irony was BRUCE LEE was originally slated to star but was deemed not asian enough'
It was actually because Bruce Lee was asian that he wasn't chosen to perform. They dressed up an American to look as Asian as possible and hired asian martial artists to perform the kicks and moves.
