 In the early stage of Hollywood's film production, East Asian males such as Sessue Hayakawa exhibited their male attractiveness both on and off screen, but they became the victim of their own success when their popularity caused dissension.Later, when Bruce Lee joined Hollywood, he was one of the few Asians who had achieved Alpha male status on screen and transformed the image of the Asian male in U.S cinema; since then the popularity of East Asian male stars has grown steadily.Later media depictions of East Asian males defied such traditional stereotypes.
