Biao Yuen
Biography
Biao Yuen, born July 26, 1957, is an actor and martial artist known for his acrobatic fighting. He entered the China Drama Academy at age five, the youngest student there, and remained until he was sixteen, when he moved to America with Master Jim-Yuen. He returned two years later, explaining that American films offered no starring chances for Chinese martial artists. After small parts in Stoner (1974) and Shao Lin men (1976), his first major break came when Sammo Kam-Bo Hung gave him a leading role in Za jia xiao zi (1979). The Prodigal Son (1981) brought him wider exposure and made him an A-list star. He appeared in Project A (1983) and later in Once Upon a Time in China (1991), and he directed and starred in Xi Zang xiao zi (1992). He also worked as a stunt coordinator. He later complained about poor scripts and acted in fewer films.
