description: "Albert Leong 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."
