Pinoy actor stars in Pirates of Caribbean 3 At Worlds End
“A Filipino-Chinese actor hits the big-time in the Hollywood film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
Sharing scenes with top Hollywood A-list actors Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, and Chow Yun Fat is Reggie Lee. He plays the role of the villainous Tai Huang in the third and final installment of the Pirates movie franchise.
Reggie is no amateur in the Hollywood scene, this talented Filipino actor is a regular in top TV shows, including the popular Fox drama Prison Break (as Special Secret Service Agent Bill Kim) and in, among other movies, The Fast and The Furious (with Vin Diesel).
Born in Quezon City, Reggie is the oldest of three sons. He speaks fluent Tagalog, his native tongue, and Cantonese. Reggie was a kid when the Lees migrated to Cleveland, Ohio, where he graduated from a Franciscan high school.
In the 1990s, Reggie relocated to Los Angeles and became an actor. He went on a nationwide tour with the musical Heartstrings and, later, with Miss Saigon. Next stop: Broadway where he was cast in the original company of the Tony Award-winning musical Carousel.
In 1997, Reggie received a Dramalogue Critics Award for his performance in F.O.B. at East West Players. He also starred in the Players’ production of Carry the Tiger to the Mountain.
Then came television. In the past decade, Reggie has guest-starred in TV shows like ER, Ellen Again, Strong Medicine, Mad About You, Walker Texas Ranger, Diagnosis Murder, Chicago Hope, Beverly Hills 90210, Babylon 5, Party of Five, Blind Justice, and Night Stalker.
He’s an athlete at heart, a huge sports and fitness fanatic.
“I can spot a good right hook when I see one,” Reggie was quoted as saying, recalling Michelle Rodriguez’s punch that knocked him out in one of the scenes from The Fast and The Furious. “That was definitely an excellent right hook.”
