Chung Fat

Chung was born on 2 December 1953. He is a native of Guangdong province and of Han ethnicity. As a teenager, he was a Northern Praying Mantis practitioner with Lam Ching-ying, under Madame Fok's guidance. He became proficient in the use of a great variety of martial arts weapons and techniques.

He was trained by Madame Fan Kuk-fa of The Spring and Autumn Drama School.

Chung Fat debuted early on the silver screen, shooting Enter the Dragon (1973) with Bruce Lee.[1] Chung stated, "You need thousands of extras, some of which must be at the pinnacle of martial arts, Lam Ching-ying was the fellow with the opportunity when they were hiring extras". Chung Fat had a small role as a security guard who fails to capture Lee, (Bruce Lee) when he investigates the island. In the film, Han (Kien Shih) is described to order Bolo, (Bolo Yeung) to kill him along with several of his colleagues for failing at their task.

With this opportunity, he entered the movies circle, being at the front line for more than 30 years, in addition to his jiangshi-themed films. Chung only had three protagonist roles in his career, instead often being cast in supporting, secondary or mainly villain roles. He also has worked as a director, choreographer, and planner.

He had a long-term collaboration with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. In the 21st century his film appearances had mostly faded out, making mainly commercials. However, in 2013 he was invited back to the silver screen by Juno Mak to film his new jiangshi film, "Rigor Mortis",[2][3] and help to fight off those new vampire-zombies.
