Bruce Lee and philosophy
This 1964 Bruce Lee interview (which I happened upon this morning on nerve.com) is worth watching for Lee's expression when he mentions that he majored in philosophy in college. He hesitates for a brief instant before admitting this, and his eyes flick to the side just after.

Its amazing how much screen presence and charisma he had -- and that's just a screen test!
When Lee mentions his newborn son in the video it made me sad....

Thanks for the link -- I'd never seen this interview before and it was great. Bruce Lee as Charlie Chan's number one son?! I've got to see that.

It'd have to be 1965, because Bruce mentions his son being born, and that's the year listed on IMDB.
