 born November 2, 1995 (Wiki) plays the young Storm Shadow in GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra and was Tran in Ben Stiller’s, Tropic Thunder (2008).
Though the specificity of his Asian heritage has yet to be confirmed on the internet, where everything is true, Lee will be tagged as “other” Asian.
Brandon holds a black belt in Tae Kwan Do and is currently training in extreme martial arts and Wing Chun Kung Fu. Soo Hoo has also received training in weapons such as the bō staff, sword, and the nunchaku.[2] (Rock on!)
Soo Hoo was nominated for and won the award for Best Performance in a Feature Film - Supporting Young Actor award at the Young Artists Awards.[3]

Foxy Brown
in an MTV interview, states her family is Trinidadian and Asian, but does not specifically mention what type of Asian.  Wiki states, however, that Foxy is African- and Indo-Trinidadian.  Go figure.
Inga Fung Marchand (born September 6, 1978)[3], better known as Foxy Brown, is an American rapper known for her solo work as well as numerous collaborations with other artists and her brief stint as part of hip-hop music group The Firm. Her albums include Ill Na Na in 1996, followed by Chyna Doll in 1999, and Broken Silence in 2001. She performed also in the 1997 self-titled album by the Firm, the only album to be released by that group to date.[4] Throughout her career, Brown has held an extensive arrest record and served some time in jail.
After 2002, she continued recording verses for herself and other artists but did not release any albums; she left the Def Jam label in 2003, thus canceling the release of her Ill Na Na 2 album.[5] However, she returned to the label in January 2005 after Jay-Z signed her back to begin work on her new album Black Roses.[6] In December 2005, she began suffering from hearing loss, which put her career on hiatus until the next summer, a few months after surgery.[7]
In August 2007, she was signed to Koch Records.[8] Her fourth album was released in May 2008 following many delays spawned by a jail sentence that Brown served.[2]
