Al Leong as Uli holds the HK94A3 in Die Hard.

Al Leong is a veteran professional stunt performer and martial arts expert who, like fellow stunt performer Thomas Rosales Jr., routinely plays unnamed and often-killed thugs in action films. He has had notable roles in such action films as Lethal Weapon (1987) and Die Hard and was frequently cast in films directed by John Carpenter. He is usually remembered and recognized when casting directors and the general public speak of "the long haired bald Asian bad guy" (a seemingly contradictory description).
