Martial arts legend Jackie Chan is sick of playing kung-fu fighters in movies and complains he's been typecast.

The KARATE KID star is desperate to become a "real actor" by taking on roles other than as a kung fu expert, but claims there are limited roles for Asians in Hollywood.

He says, "It's all the same, cop from Hong Kong, cop from China. Jet Li, CHOW YUN FAT and I all face the same problem, our roles are limited.

"Yes, I get treated like a king (in Hollywood) but I'm not happy. I get frustrated when I see them doing things the wrong way but I can't say anything."
