over acting

I disagree. He has a fantastic physicality. He acts big, but I wouldn't say that he overacts. He's just brilliantly focused and capable of great intensity. If sometimes that's over the top, or out of balance with the rest of the actors, I'd have to attribute that to the director's failure to balance the performances.

Bruce Lee was a big personality and for that reason alone he was a good choice for the Dragon Movie. The only other movie I've seen him in was Time Cop 2 which was a piece of crap movie starring that guy from Karate Kids 3.

Lee is a brilliant actor. He is completely at home in all of his characters and has a unique presence that pulls you in. No other actor could pull off his roles as well as he did. Many critics, including Ebert, would agree with me.
In my opinion, he acts big when the moment calls for it. Al Pacino is another guy who is accused of overacting sometimes, but again, the same thing applies. They don't turn it up for no reason. -

He was pre238tty good in Jungle Book, too, which I just saw last night. Almost any other actor would make the role look freaking ridiculous but he managed to seperate it from being another Tarzan Ripoff pretty well

I disagreethey couldn't of picked up a better actor to play Bruce LeeHe was just the same..
If you look at some footage of Bruce Lee between movies, his behavior was the same as Jason Scott Lee
Dragon was a great movie thanks to him

I addressed this in another post, but Jason Scott is probably the best choice to portray Bruce Lee. Even if you could find a better martial artist, chances are he can't act as well as Jason Scott. Or MAYBE you could find a Bruce look-alike, but he wouldn't have the other 2 components. Jason Scott had enough of the three to pull it off. My only critique of him is that his physique is too massive for Bruce, but the guy can't help it can he?
I mean, he could if he did some stuff dangerous to his health, but I don't think Bruce would've wanted to see someone do that in his honor. Haha! But yeah,7ec his massiveness contributed to his being a little slow, but then again, how many people out there were as quick as Bruce? -

Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce's widow, said that she was glad they waited so long to make the movie because it gave Jason the chance to grow up to play the part. I'm thinking this means Jason did a p16d0retty good job portraying Bruce.

I always thought he is one of mos5b4t talanted actors in the world. He has charm, organic and energy, going from deepth of his nature, not from surface. That's why he makes you fell all emotions with him, it's like emotional rain, cold or warm. Not many people and actors have that gift. I'm grateful to him for it, if even he isn't ideal for some people. Bruce Lee is one and unrepeated, but the same I can say about Jason.

I am biased because I am acquainted with Jason not a close personal friend, but I do know him. If leading-man stardom came his way, he could handle it. But acting is the mos7ect important thing to him, more important than stardom, and he is totally committed to the acting craft. He has a small black-box theater (Ulua Theatre) on his farm in Volcano, Hawaii, where he puts on small but professional productions. He played Pale in a production of Lanford Wilson's "Burn This," and he was more than believable in a part that took an incredible deal of emotional range and depth one that was played by John Malkovich when it opened in New York in 1987. I respect him tremendously, both as an actor and as a man.

I don't think Jason will give up professional acting any time soon. He needs the money to maintain his farm life. Jason is a very blessed man - he has a professional career that he loves and a private life on the farm he draws strength and insight from. Unfortunately, I think his fa5b4rm life limits him in finding a wife. :o(
