These two portraits were ID'd as Kwan Yan

this is an image of who the majority of the other IDs appear to be:

does anyone else agree on the mis-IDs? ears are totally different...
Especially the B&W one - that looks to be a oft-seen unknown actor?

Yes, I wasn't too sure when I ID'd the one that's b/w.

It is not Kwan Yan on the images at BLACK PEONY, THE ADULTERESS and DARK HEROINE. It is that unknown actor:

Hi, editors.

Please do not forget to delete Kwan Yan from cast list samulteously when you identified the picture actually belong to Unknown actor (12).

I notice a few movies contain both in cast list but with only a picture of either one.

I have also seen movies with both of them in it.

If rectifying editor do not rectify picture and cast list samulteously, it will be difficult to determine, after some time, whether name is an error inclusion or correct inclusion but actor not seen.

Added many more movies to "Unknown 12"

I deleted a few movies with only Kwan Yan in the movie. But attention: in movies like GAME GAMBLERS PLAY he appears but is not on the images.
