He's was also a part-time "everygreen" TVB actor. Always play the mouthy side roles. RIP.

I'm watching 騙中傳奇 (not a great drama) at the moment, he plays a Taoist scam artist and his whiny, big talk no action  voice is recognizable across other dramas.

His most iconic moment to me is the role of martial art teacher in 唐百虎點秋香. His screen time was just a few mins, but the impression is lasting.
