Brandon Lee (born May 16, 1979), is an Asian American gay pornographic film actor of Chinese Filipino descent.[1] He is regarded as the first gay Asian porn star and arguably the most popular Asian pornographic actor in contemporary gay male culture.[2][3]
Pornography career
Lee started in the industry in 1997 at the age of 18. Legend has it that he was discovered delivering Chinese food to a pornography shoot but he was discovered by pornographic director, Chi Chi Larue at a bathhouse.[1][4] He intentionally chose the name of actor Brandon Lee as his porn name.[5] His first movies were under Catalina Video for the Asian niche market but he crossed over into the mainstream gay pornography by 1998. He worked as a popular top which is unusual for an Asian actor in gay pornography.[1]
An analysis of Lee's work, and his place in the gay pornography industry, written by Nguyen Tan Hoang, appeared in the book Porn Studies (Linda Williams, Duke University Press). According to Richard Fung, Asian men are usually portrayed asexually in culture, and Nguyen argues that Lee's position in gay pornography challenges these stereotypes. The essay is entitled "The Resurrection of Brandon Lee: The Making of a Gay Asian-American Porn Star."[1]
