Board of Directors
Jackie Chan, Board of Directors
International actor, director and stunt performer Jackie Chan is one of the world’s most respected actors. He has received worldwide recognition for his contributions, having won several awards including an Innovator Award from the American Choreography Awards and a lifetime achievement award from the Taurus World Stunt Awards. His achievements have also garnered him stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars.
Apprenticed to the China Drama Academy (or "opera school") by his parents at the age of 7, Jackie Chan was rigorously trained in music, dance, and traditional martial arts for the next 10 years that would help him to become an international superstar. Since then, his career has spanned over more than 100 features films, 20 recording albums and countless television work including a fictionalized version of himself in the animated series Jackie Chan Adventures.
Best known for bringing humour to the martial arts movies, he broke new ground with memorable films like Snake in Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master. Other notable films include: Project A (1983), Police Story (1985), Armour of God (1986) and the Golden Horse Award-winning Crime Story (1993) - not forgetting the multiple sequels to follow. He also released the official one-year countdown song to the 2008 Summer Olympics and performed in the farewell song for the closing ceremony.
Jackie’s Hong Kong movie career rocketed along with one hit after another. During the 1980s, Jackie attempted to break into the American movie market without much success. He focused his attention on making films in his hometown. Although he was extremely successful, he never gave up his dream of making it in America. In 1995 he returned to the US to film Rumble in the Bronx and when it was released in 1996, it was a huge hit. Over the next several years, Jackie starred in a succession of American productions, none more successful than the blockbuster Rush Hour series. Over his nearly four-decade career in film, Jackie has received hundreds of awards for his acting, directing, writing, and stunt work.
For the past 20 years, Jackie has devoted much of his spare time and energy to charity work. In 1988 he established the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation and since then he has worked tirelessly for dozens of charities both at home and abroad. In recent years he has focused his energies on his Dragon’s Heart Foundation, which builds schools in remote areas of China. Among his many charitable endeavors, he is also a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF/UNAIDS, a celebrity cabinet member of the American Red Cross, founder of the Jackie Chan Civil Aviation Foundation in China, and the host of charity concerts and car races throughout the world.
Jackie Chan is an avid businessman who has been at the forefront of many well-known ventures, including but not limited to the Planet Hollywood chain of restaurants, California Fitness Centers, and Jackie Chan’s Café coffee shops. In 2006 Jackie co-founded JCAM Advanced Mobility Company to identify and market eco-friendly advanced transportation technologies.
