He quickly became a handful and became the wild child constantly fighting and getting into trouble. So how did he go from the wild child to the philosopher? In today's episode we'll take a deep dive into his childhood and discuss events leading up to his return to America at 18 years old. I'll tell you about his acting career and the beginning of his passion for martial arts. His life was truly fascinating, and his legacy will live on forever.
