Jackie Chan


About Jackie Chan
Apprenticed to the China Drama Academy (or "opera school") by his parents at the age of 6, Jackie Chan  was rigorously trained in music, dance, and traditional martial arts. A visiting filmmaker offered Chan his  first (tiny) role as a stunt player. Chan took the part, and soon left the Opera to pursue the world of film.  Fellow Opera students Biao Yuen and Sammo Hung Kam-Bo would also have careers in film, and the  three would star in several films together in the following years. Chan's talent and enthusiasm soon saw  him taking larger and more important roles, graduating first to stunt coordinator, and then to director.
