Lee knows that acting is not easy -- the numerous ups and downs throughout the history of his career have made him realize the truth of it more than enough and have made him an effective actor. As a result, Lee has sharpened himself to become a perfect actor for any film.
And these days, he seems to have become well-accomplished. His natural intuition and sensitive perception helped him to reinvent himself with each character in each film he appears, and while building an extensive filmography, he continues giving life to new characters.
