In 1960, he served in the US Army for two years. Afterwards he became an actor. Interestingly, during production of perhaps his most famous role, ''Series/KungFu'', he did not actually know martial arts and made do with his dancing, sword fighting, boxing, and street fighting skills. Afterwards, he studied martial arts for real and while he never considered himself a master, he became skilled enough to teach it. In 2005, he visited the Shaolin Monastery and the abbot, Shi Yǒngxìn, thanked him for helping to promote the Shaolin and kung fu culture, which he replied, "I am happy to serve."

He sang and played several instruments like the piano, guitar, and flute.
