Surely there are enough movies with comprehensive cast pics to ID this guy.

However, having trawled eight of them, I've yet to find a single promising visage.

This post ids his role in One Way Only as Kam Mou, ie, Gold Hair.

So this should be him:

In the HKFA, most of his credits are for production roles, not acting roles in his filmography. :?:

It is common for "stage managers" make small roles in the films in which they work.

Yes, I know. It's just odd that an editor who'd made all those visual IDs from films spanning 20 years w/o help from listed roles would not have provided an image from one of those films. That's all.

I rather suspect someone has thought that all the movies that are listed in the HKFA are actor credits and had not checked the individual movie entries on the HKFA :?:

Now some image IDs are done (not by me), but I'm not sure if all of them are correct. I have my doubts.

HKFA entry with only 2 actor credits (ONE WAY ONLY and HEARTBREAK 100):

Only my thoughts, maybe I'm wrong.

I agree

I had the same reaction. I didn't see the age progression to the latter images from the known image.

De-indentify the ones that don't fit.
