built 174 days ago
In 2002, the film Hero starring Jet Li was released in the US market. This film was both a critical and commercial success. Later, Jet took a big risk with the 2005 action drama, Danny the Dog, in which he portrays an adult with the mentality of a child who has been raised like an animal. It was a somber film with more depth than had been previously seen in Jet's films.

Shortly after retiring from the sport at the age of 17, Jet Li was offered many starring roles and subsequently began his film career with director Zhang Xinyan for Shaolin Temple. Based on the Shaolin folklore and the true story of how Shaolin monks saved the Tang emperor, this film marked the debut of the national wushu champion as an inexperienced film star.

Jet Li was a martial arts champion as a child and a martial arts movie star as an adult. His first Hong Kong action movie, 1979's Shaolin Temple, helped make him a national hero in China. He appeared in dozens of kung fu movies in the 1980s and '90s, including Tai Chi Master (1993) and Fist of Legend (1994). Later in the 1990s he made the leap to Hollywood, appearing in Lethal Weapon IV (1998, with Mel Gibson), Romeo Must Die (2000, co-starring Aaliyah and DMX) and The One (2001).
