Li Lianjie (李连杰, born April 26, 1963), better known by his stage name Jet Li, is a Chinese martial artist, actor, film producer, wushu champion, and international film star who was born in Beijing, China, and who has currently taken up Singapore citizenship. After three years of intensive training with Wu Bin, Li won his first national championship for the Beijing Wushu Team. After retiring from wushu at age 17, he went on to win great acclaim in China as an actor making his debut with the film Shaolin Temple (1982). He went on to star in many critically acclaimed martial arts epic films, most notably the Once Upon A Time In China series, in which he portrayed folk hero Wong Fei-hung. Li's first role in a Hollywood film was as a villain in Lethal Weapon 4 (1998), but his first Hollywood film leading role was in Romeo Must Die (2000). He has gone on to star in many Hollywood action films, most recently starring beside Jackie Chan in The Forbidden Kingdom (2008), and as the title character villain in The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (2008) opposite Brendan Fraser. Recently, he appeared in the 2010 film The Expendables.
The first season sees surgeon-by-day Pieter Cross use his heightened vision and senses from being blinded by a drug to fight crime at night on the streets of New York City's Midtown East neighborhood as Doctor Mid-Nite while uncovering a conspiracy of the criminal underworld being led by Bruno Mannheim. In the second season, Cross continues to balance life as a surgeon and Doctor Mid-Nite, while crossing paths with Adrian Chase/Vigilante, a vigilante with far deadlier methods, as well as the return of an ex-girlfriend—Jade Nguyen/Cheshire. In the third season, after Mannheim is released from prison, Cross, who has been missing for months following the events of The Outsiders, reemerges as a broken man and must decide between hiding from the world as a criminal surgeon, or embracing his life as a hero vigilante.
