A '''goatee''' is a [[beard]] formed by a tuft of [[hair]] on the chin resembling that of a billy [[goat]]. The goatee underwent a renaissance in the [[1990s]], when a close-cropped variant with an integrated moustache was popularized by the musicians, [[baseball player]]s, [[athlete]]s and [[sport]]s [[hero]]es of the day.
After studying acting and playing a few parts in [[Australia]], he moved to [[Hong Kong]] and starred in several movies in the 80's, including "[[ninja]]" flicks by [[Godfrey Ho]]. He also worked extensively as a [[voice actor]], dubbing chinese movies into english.
Like the [[beard]], the goatee is most commonly seen in combination with a [[moustache]]. However, since the beginning of the [[21st century|21st Century]], this has begun to change and new styles have begun to emerge. Frequently, goatees are worn concomitant with either very short hair styles, or even completely shaved heads.
He is particularly popular among bad movie fans due to his overacting that makes him twist his face in [[grimace]]s.
In satirical fiction, the goatee is often a symbol of a character's [[evil twin]]. This may be due to historical portrayals of the [[devil]] sporting a goatee, and has been used in plot lines such as the episode ''[[Mirror, Mirror (Star Trek)|Mirror, Mirror]]'' of the [[television]] series [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]], in which the character [[Mr. Spock|Spock]] had an evil alternate in a [[parallel universe]] who possessed a goatee. This was parodied in the [[South Park]] episode [[Spookyfish]], where [[Cartman]]'s evil twin from a parallel universe looked just like him, except that he had a goatee and moustache.
He is now a financial counselor in [[Thailand]]

* The [[royale]] (or impériale) is a tuft of hair under the lower lip (without a goatee, but perhaps worn with a moustache). While the royale was historically worn by French officers as a [[badge]] or [[adornment]] of [[Military rank|military rank]] or [[status]], it is not technically a goatee. It is sometimes referred to as a "bitch", "soul patch", or "nubbin".
