The Green Hornet Specials: Bruce Lee Screen Test

2. Bruce Lee Screen Test

Jan 01, 1970

International actors such as Bruce Lee are given screen tests to demonstrate that they were sufficiently articulate in the relevant language. In Lee's case, for the role of Kato in The Green Hornet, he was asked to converse about Chinese culture in English to judge his grasp of the language, then to demonstrate some martial art moves to show off his physical skills.
