10 Things You Didn't Know About Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee Overshadowed "The Hornet"

ABC's small-screen version of The Green Hornet (1966-67) only lasted for one season, but Lee's turn as sidekick Kato gave his career a huge boost. In fact, Lee was such a hit in his hometown (Hong Kong) that the Chinese version of the series made no mention of The Hornet at all; it was renamed The Kato Show.
