Albert Leong (born September 30, 1952) is an American retired actor, martial artist, stuntman, and stunt co-ordinator. Often credited as "Asian Bad Guy", Leong was Hollywood's henchman of choice throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Characterised by his martial arts skills, long wavy hair, and a prominent Fu Manchu moustache, he has had a number of small but memorable roles in many popular action films, including Lethal Weapon (1987) with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover; Die Hard (1988) with Bruce Willis; Death Warrant (1990) with Jean-Claude Van Damme; and Rapid Fire (1992) with Brandon Lee. He is also notable for his role as Genghis Khan in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989). He collaborated with director John Carpenter in Big Trouble in Little China (1986) and They Live (1988). Such appearances have garnered him a cult following. In television, he appeared in series such as T. J. Hooker, The Fall Guy, Knight Rider, and 24, among others. Leong's martial art foundation is steeped within the 5 Animal Styles taught by Grandmaster Ark Yuey Wong in Chinatown, Los Angeles. In 2014, he was inducted into the Martial Arts History Museum Hall of Fame.
