James Wing Woo was born September 26, 1922, on the property of a
Standard Oil refinery in Oleum California, north of Oakland. His father
had a restaurant there and lived nearby with his wife and children.The
Woo family would grow to a number of eight boys (James was the second).
Before it did, however, the Woos moved to China. It was 1928, and James
was six. But his father had gotten involved in tong wars in the Bay
Area, and, as James recalls, had "a price on his head." In 1938, James
and a brother settled in San Francisco. The 16 year-old James attended
school and found work as a waiter. He also found use for his martial
arts education.
In 1961, the Academy of Karate Kung fu opened in a large storefront at
5440 Hollywood Boulevard.
In the 1970's, with Bruce Lee and other martial artists taking kung fu
fighting to the big screen, James and his most accomplished students
began drawing attention from Hollywood producers and directors. James
got his first role in Sam Peckinpah's The Killer Elite in 1975, after
he'd almost tossed the director out of his studio.
James wound up playing "Tao Yi," but notes that he never actually
performed martial arts in any of the 15 roles he has had, from Killer
Elite to Lethal Weapon 4 (in 1998) to a recent episode of the TV
mystery series, Monk. He has portrayed a priest, a criminal clan
leader, an elder martial arts master, and "a dead Chinese man."- Actor
