Hey, are these credits that need adding to the DB? <br><br>

[dleedlee]

Yes, if someone would be so kind.<br><br>/yssy

OK, all done It's expanded his filmography quite a bit, but I'm sure there's still many more films he appeared in - he seems to be the eternal servant in many films!<br><br>Do you fancy adding a small bio for him too?<br><br>You should ask Ryan about becoming an editor, btw - you watch a lot of the older films that few other people seem to see, so I'm sure you could add a lot of good info <br><br>

[dleedlee]

Thanks, and yes I'll have few more for him to add soon.<br><br>I'm afraid I can't add much info other than cribbing from some HKIFF publications. He's just one of those guys you can't forget once you've seen him.<br><br>I'm thinking of starting a thread for a couple other character actors (don't worry, they have broader roles).<br><br>Yeah, I'm hooked on those 50's b/w films but my Juk Sing Cantonese only gets me so far.<br><br>/yssy
