Lee started in the industry in 1997 at age 18 after being discovered by adult film director Chi Chi Larue at a bathhouse. He chose the name of actor Brandon Lee as his porn name. His first movies were under Catalina Video for the Asian niche market but he crossed over into the mainstream gay pornography by 1998. He worked as a top which is unusual for an Asian actor in gay pornography.
An analysis of Lee's work, and his place in the gay pornography industry, written by Nguyen Tan Hoang, appeared in the book Porn Studies. According to Richard Fung, Asian men are usually portrayed asexually in culture, and Nguyen argues that Lee's position in gay pornography challenges these stereotypes.
