Sounds awful. I remember Bert Kwouk as the narrator in The Water Margin and Monkey Magic from my teenage years. That plus Pink Panther makes him top bannana in my book. I remember watching Sellars, him, Graham Stark, David Lodge and Herbert Lom corpsing over and over and over again. In the background you can hear Blake Edwards and the camera crew crying with laughter. If he fitted in with that lot he must have been a great bloke.
Bert Kwouk was one of those actors who appeared in everything, but you never knew his name. He played Ling, Liang, Feng, Fong, Wong, Hong, Wang, Wing, Peng, Tung, Ming, Ching, Ying, Chen, Li, Chang, Chu, Wok, Lim, Tan and of course, Lee (not that he was typecast).
And right in the middle of the annual ever-expanding holiday period known as Christmas. <they sold me a dream of Christmas>
I probably shouldn't mention I have credits for three separate films with the word "stalker" in their title...
When the Beeb do your obituary, they will state you were the definitive / "go to" actor for the stalker genre.
The Enfield Rotary club Christmas float has just been round with traditional In Dulce Jubilo blaring out. I now declare the official start of the Christmas holiday period.
MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon tomorrow The latter are in the ascendency now I await the Manchester United v FC United of Manchester game with interest
I wondered how they got Burt in the Last of the Summer Wine series.Something didn't seem right in that one....... I did like Burt on that escalator scene wearing those thick glasses in Panther......and he could play menacing i.e Bullet to Beijing with Caine in the Harry Palmer series.
He's one of those people I thought had died years ago. He's not the oldest Hollywood star. Olivia de Havilland was 100 in July (she's not dead is she?)
Even she isn't the oldest living Hollywood star: Julie Gibson is the oldest living credited Hollywood star at the age of 103, while Mary Carlisle and Norman Lloyd are both 102.
