## Biography

Danny Chan Kwok-kwan (born 1 August 1975) is a Hong Kong actor and martial artist. He began his career as the lead singer of the rock band Poet and appeared in minor roles in Hong Kong films. He first gained prominence in two films directed by Stephen Chow, playing the goalkeeper Empty Hands in *Shaolin Soccer* (2001) and the Axe Gang boss Brother Sum in *Kung Fu Hustle* (2004).

Owing to his physical resemblance to Bruce Lee, Chan has portrayed the martial artist in the television series *The Legend of Bruce Lee* (2008) and the films *Ip Man 3* (2015) and *Ip Man 4: The Finale* (2019). He is a practitioner of Jeet Kune Do. He has also appeared in films including *Monk Comes Down the Mountain* (2015) and *Kung Fu League* (2018).
