A Hong Kong-born Chinese man named Chan Kong-sang is popularly known as Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan, the Chinese stuntman, actor, and director whose terrifying acrobatic stunts and engaging physical humour made him an action-film star in Asia and helped to bring kung fu movies into the mainstream of American cinema. From age 7 to 17 he studied acrobatics, singing, martial arts, and mime. These skills flung him into a position with a professional tumbling troupe and landed him bit roles as a child actor and later, as a stuntman. In the 1990s Chan finally broke through into the American market. In addition to acting, Chan pursued a career in the Hong Kong music industry, releasing a number of original albums starting from 1984. He founded the Jackie Chan Charitable Organization in 1998, which, among other projects, offers scholarships to Hong Kong youths. He worked as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.
