I have no real knowledge but here's my thoughts. Like a lot of actors he took his talent (asian action hero type) as far as Hollywood, and his agent could get him. He has a measure of success and is most likely financially secure which is more than most "actors" that chase the Hollywood dream. Becoming a "star" isn't as much determination in LA as it is luck and connections.

Action heros come and go look at Jean Claude. I think he's is doing what he can by in a sense looking for good projects this way. There's a lot of waiting by the phone. He seems to be making use of his time by focusing on the farm in down times.
He is a very good martial artist, but he can safely do comedic roles as well which is unique. -

Definitely. Some idiots in Hollywood think asians are good only gor kung fu beep shallowI'm european and all white and I don't give a damn on skin colour. I want to see this talented guy in better movies. I'm tired of B movies that waste his talent.

I enjoy seeing a good kung fu movie every once in a while. I'm glad he doesn't mind doing them. I think Asians in Hollywood are going through what African Americans went through a few years ago. It will take time. I think Asians just have to get behind their own movies and and show the industry with dollars.
He gets starring credit in all the movies he was out, which is more than I see some of these TV actors get when they make movies. -

He visited my high school last year, McKinley High School on Oahu. There was a video presentation on his life on the big island and how he's living. He's gotten very close to the natural simple life without all the complexity of the city life. He's a good guy.

To be fair, no one's as fast as Bruce Lee. He was a one in a million. But, Jason Scott Lee had a very impressive physique and that movie was very heartwarming.made me miss and respect the real Bruce Lee.
