Woke up this morning and checked Facebook to discover from a status post by Mike Leeder the very sad news that legendary Hong Kong actor Shing Fui On has passed away.
According to wikipedia he would have been about 54 years old.. too young and too soon..
One of my favourite actors who makes up almost half my film collection.. watched him alongside the likes of Danny Lee, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun Fat etc for many years. Always enjoyed his tough guy/pissed off character, never got tired of it.
Was very happy to see him on screen again in "Bodyguard: New Beginning" and was asking Mr Leeder if he would be doing an interview with him.. sad huh..
Wikipedia has been updated to notify he died of "nasopharyngeal carcinoma" (a form of throat cancer).
Rest in peace Mr Shing Fui On..
