The number eight marked his life, as he was orphaned at the age of 8, and died at the age of 28 before the end of filming his latest film. His tragic death in the middle of filming made him a legendary figure. Brandon Lee was able to become a substitute for his father, Bruce Lee, as an action movie figure.

Brandon Lee was born on February 1, 1965 in Oakland, California. He specialized in martial arts and action movies, like his father Bruce Lee .

When Bruce died in 1973, Brandon was only eight years old. The Lee family had moved to Hong Kong, due to a film project by Bruce. After the fatal accident that caused his death, they returned to Los Angeles, United States, and they had to learn to live with pain. Later, at the age of eighteen, Brandon majored in theater at Emerson College. A year later, he moved to New York, where he took acting classes. Later he returned to his home state to resume martial arts classes – which he had abandoned after the death of his father.

The number eight marked Brandon’s life. Like Bruce Lee, death surprised Brandon at a young age. He died in 1994 at the age of twenty-eight, after being accidentally shot by actor Michael Massee . “I don’t think you ever recover from something like that,” explained the unintentional cause of the tragedy, which took place eight days before finishing The Raven , while one of the scenes of the film was being filmed, specifically a shooting.

Brandon Lee’s film career was quite short. The Raven generated a lot of expectation, becoming one of the most controversial of the year. Although before he had made his first steps in the world of cinema with Little Tokyo. Frontal Attack –1991–.
