Born in Hong Kong in 1948, 'Bruce' Leung Siu Lung was the eldest of twelve brothers (which included stuntman/martial arts actor/action choreographer 'Tony' Leung Siu Hung) and he obtained his martial arts training from his father at the Cantonese Opera. He also learned different forms of Karate and Kung Fu from different masters, which would serve him well later in films where he showcased his talent in traditional combat and became a kung-fu star during the 70s & 80s. He was also a talented action choreographer for films. Leung Siu Lung's unfortunate disappearance from films would follow when he took a visit to Mainland, China, where the Communist government had banned his film work. He wouldn't be present in front of the cameras again for almost two decades but that wouldn't stop him from returning in 2004, where he was given the opportunity to make a surprising comeback to play the part as the main villain, The Beast, in Stephen Chow's blockbuster comedy, 'Kung Fu Hustle'.
