Dragon Lee (born 1958) is an actor and practitioner of taekwondo and hapkido. He made a name for himself as a martial arts film star in the 1970s and 80s. His birth name is Moon Kyung-seok, but he is also called Keo Ryong (literally "giant dragon") in South Korea.
Lee studied taekwondo with friend and actor Kim Tai-chung, who served as Bruce Lee's double in the final scenes of "Game of Death." It was at this stage of his life that Lee began studying also the Korean martial art of hapkido under Hwang In-shik, who appeared with Bruce Lee in Way of the Dragon.
When Dragon Lee was at a theater, a man told him that he resembled Bruce Lee, a big compliment because Bruce Lee was popular at the time. The man knew film directors in Hong Kong and helped Dragon Lee advance his career.
In his early 20s, Dragon Lee moved to Hong Kong and starred in numerous martial arts films, often credited as Bruce Lei because of his striking resemblance to Bruce Lee. Among his many film credits is the semi-documentary The Real Bruce Lee (1977).
Dragon Lee moved back to Seoul, and is a television actor and producer. He also headed a South Korean actors' association.
