James Sie (born December 18, 1962) is an American actor and author. He is best known as a voice double for Jackie Chan, having voiced an animated Chan and several other characters in Jackie Chan Adventures. He is also known for his recurring role as the Cabbage Merchant in Avatar: the Last Airbender, as well as Master Monkey in Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness (taking over for Jackie Chan), and Eddy Raja in the Uncharted series. His debut novel, Still Life Las Vegas, was published in August 2015.
Career He is known as a "Jackie Chan impersonator" as his voice bears a strong resemblance to the titular actor especially in the Kids' WB animated television series Jackie Chan Adventures. He also voices Chow and Shendu in the same series. He has performed several voices for Avatar: The Last Airbender, perhaps one of the most notable being the recurring Cabbage Merchant, and is also the voice of Master Monkey in Nickelodeon's Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, replacing Jackie Chan from the films (Sie also provided the voice of Monkey in video games). Other popular roles include Chinese American footballer Kwan in Danny Phantom (replacing Dat Phan), Chen Lin in W.I.T.C.H., Fin Fang Foom and Radioactive Man in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Eddy Raja in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and guest-voiced as an Asian scientist named Jimmy in Regular Show and also voices Lord Taran Zhu in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. He had a brief role as a Buddhist Lama in the 2021 The Simpsons episode "Wad Goals".
He starred on-camera, opposite Suzy Nakamura in Strawberry Fields. He also had roles in Chain Reaction. Sie wrote and performed the autobiographical one-person stage show, Talking With My Hands in 1999, about growing up in a Chinese/Italian household. His play, Island of the Blue Dolphins at the Lifeline Theatre in Chicago, Illinois was awarded the 1995 Joseph Jefferson Award Citation for New Work. James has also garnered two Jeff Citation nominations for his Lifeline adaptations of Dracula and A Wrinkle in Time, which was produced at Lincoln Center Institute in New York. He has received an After Dark Award for The Road to Graceland. His other adaptations include Randy Shilts' Talking AIDS to Death and Daniel Pinkwater's The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death, which was also broadcast on WFMT's "Chicago Theatres on the Air".
