Growing up in Bruce's shadow wasn't always easy for the younger Lee. As a child, Brandon was about to sign up with a local martial-arts studio...until he noticed a large poster of his dad on the wall; Brandon ran from the dojo in tears. Later, as a teenager, he dropped out of two different high-schools (once, after an "altercation" with the vice-principal).

Killed while filming the movie The Crow (1994) by a projectile shot from a gun firing blanks.

Was Eurasian like current actors Andrew Johnston, Keanu Reeves, Rob Schneider, Russell Wong, Michael Wong and actresses Jessica Anderson, Devon Aoki, China Chow, Kelly Hu, Traycee King, Kristin Kreuk, Jaymee Ong,Maggie Q and Monica Young.

Mother is Linda Lee Cadwell

He was a troubled youngster but an outstanding surrogate-parent. When his actress-sister Shannon Lee and a friend were arrested for underage- joyriding in their mom's car, Brandon sat her down and gave her a classic "It's Okay To Have Fun But Don't Ever Take It Too Far" lecture. Indeed, Shannon claims that if Brandon had lived to see her wedding day, he would have walked her down the aisle.

At the time of his death, was engaged to Eliza Hutton.

Was to be married in Mexico on April 17th 1993.

Was first asked to play the role of Bruce Lee in his father's biopic. The role was later given to Jason Scott Lee.

The apple never falls far from the tree: Brandon played the character "Jake Lo" in Rapid Fire (1992); his father Bruce Lee played the character "Billy Lo" in Game of Death (1978).

He is of Chinese, Swedish descent, English and German descent.

Was in talks with filmmakers about making Rapid Fire 2.

His Chinese star sign is the Dragon. He was born on Chinese New Year's eve, last day of the dragon.

Son of Bruce Lee.

Spoke Cantonese.

Nephew of Robert Lee

Since his father (Bruce) is of German-Chinese descent and his mother (Linda) is of Swedish and English descent (she has blonde hair and blue eyes), Brandon was born with blond hair which is very unusual for a person of mixed race. However, as he aged, his hair color changed to brown.

Lived in Hong Kong for a couple of years as a little boy.

Had blonde hair as a baby.

Brother of Shannon Lee

Grandson of actor Hoi-Chuen Lee.

Interred at Lake View Cemetery, Seattle, Washington, USA.

Dedication at the end of Lee's last film, The Crow, reads "For Brandon and Eliza (Hutton)".
