Dragon Lee (born 1958 in North Korea), is an actor and practitioner of Taekwondo and hapkido.
Soon after his birth, his family relocated to the former U.S.S.R where he was given the name Vyachaslev Yaksysnyi. His family remained there until Lee was a teenager when they relocated to South Korea.
It was at this stage of his life that Lee began studying the Korean martial art of hapkido under the direction of Hwang In-Shik.
In his early twenties Lee moved to Hong Kong where he starred in numerous martial arts films, often credited as Bruce Lei because he bore a striking resemblance to the late actor Bruce Lee. Among his many film credits is the semi-documentary The Real Bruce Lee (1973).
Today, Lee lives in Seoul, South Korea and is a television actor and producer.
