Awww man!!!! He has the best Villain roles!!!

Basically, if you want someone to act as the bad guy, that's the first one you'll look for. His look alone is the "I wanna do something evil" type.

I love one of his quotes in king of beggars


“A sailor should Know where the wind blows, young padawan”

Most of old tvb actors sure got act in cat3 movies one..no choice tat time

I think many people don't know this drama series. I think part 1 is nicer than part 2.

Since both the part 1 and part 2 of the TV series Reincarnated and Dragon Strike are on TVBAnywhere. I did try to watch those series a few months earlier. After watch a bit really cannot tahan anymore. I guess back then TV drama and movie was still new, so people could put up with bad dialogue, bad acting and bad special effects. Nowadays even the worst series is probably better than what they tried to do back then.

damn....I know him....73 still young

But what was more shocking was a few days after Norman’s passing, his wife died from a heart attack while handling his funeral.

Little is known about her except that she was a Chinese dancer who was 30 years younger than him. She was also this third wife.

The couple have a daughter and an 11-year-old son.

This year would have marked their 20th wedding anniversary.

Meaning his 3rd wife died at early 40s only? Wow true love with 30 years generational divide.

RIP so many HK celebrities, next ktards…owai

familiar face

Handsome.

RIP

Part 2 they changed actor after he went into cocoon stage and that’s why people didn’t like it.

I have been watching old series on TVBAnywhere too and find the older series in the 80s were actually better. They don’t have flashy special effects or a lot of wire fu but most of them actually have better fighting choreography. The acting, script and dialogues were better too. The biggest cons of old series is the set and costumes which are very low budget compared to series today. A lot of the directors, scriptwriters, etc. from the old ATV and TVB dramas went on to be the backbone of HK film industry. People like Johnny To, Wong Kar Wai, etc. got their start in those early TV series. Heck, even Wong Jing started in those series.

RIP....

I disagree.

While checkups are not a guaranteed for longer life or able to screen 100%, it does allow to detect certain conditions earlier and thus better chances to take preventive or treatment.

You could argue that how long we live is determined by powers above, bit with advance of medical and early detection, it provides higher living quality and better chances of survival.

Anyways checkups are paid for/tax deductable so no reason to skip.

Suka tak?

Rip

R.I.P ...... most hamsom Villain in my books.

Was reading about the same news in another website, scroll down to find that this actor also passed in September. Starred a lot in 70s and as villains in Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung movies. Later became prominent in TV drama roles.
