ABC-TV promo for "The Green Hornet" featuring Bruce Lee
Original air date: November 10, 1966

"In the television collection at the UCLA Film & Television Archive, which holds thousands of network prints, a single station identification break is emblematic of how historically significant 10 seconds of television can be. Case in point: icon Bruce Lee starring in an ABC-TV promo for the network’s series The Green Hornet. [...] Embedded in an archival 16mm network print of Marlo Thomas’ groundbreaking, proto-feminist series That Girl (1966-71), then-unknown actor Bruce Lee emerges between the seams of the sitcom to speak directly to the camera. His gaze in the network promo, like his confidence, is unwavering; his very presence, front and center, seemingly in defiance of the standard operating procedures of network television in 1966, which, more often than not, kept people of color at the margins. This 10 seconds of film is perhaps the first time an Asian American starred solo in a network promo."—Mark Quigley, John H. Mitchell Television Curator.
