Hong Kong actor Shing Fui-On has succumb to nasopharyngeal carcinoma yesterday after being diagnosed with the disease in 2004. He was 54.
For anyone who watched many Hong Kong films from the 80's to early 90's, chances are you seen Shing's face before. With a tall and rugged appearances, its not so hard to forget and its no wonder why he has become well-known for often playing villainous roles as a Triad boss, a personal favorite of mine with him is in the heroic bloodshed film The Killer. His only leading role throughout his 31 years in the showbiz was the horror comedy The Blue Jean Monster.
He'll be missed.
