Description

Classic signed portrait of Bruce Lee as Kato in The Green Hornet, his first TV role

Vintage glossy 4 x 5 photo Lee as Kato from The Green Hornet television series, neatly signed and inscribed in black felt tip, "To Mr. & Mrs. Martin, Your friend, Bruce Lee," adding his 'Loong' character below his signature, which represents the Chinese character of a dragon. In very good to fine condition, with mild scattered staining. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.

Although The Green Hornet was canceled after a single season, Lee's iconic portrayal of Kato enabled the actor to make three crossover appearances on the wildly popular live-action Batman series between 1966 and 1967. Lee worked in television for a few more years before landing a leading role in The Big Boss, a martial arts action film that not only elevated Lee's popularity across all of Asia, but likewise paved the way for Enter the Dragon, Lee's final and most enduring motion picture.
