After rising to fame in the 1970s and '80s for his roles in martial arts films such as Knockabout, Dreadnaught, and The Prodigal Son, Biao (known alternately as Bill Yuen and Jimmy Yuen) helped Jackie Chan choreograph the action sequences for the 2000 film Shanghai Noon. As a child, he was a star pupil and performer at the China Drama Academy. He began his film career as a stunt performer; in the early 1970s, he doubled for Bruce Lee in the martial arts film Enter the Dragon.
