Lo Lieh

Born in Indonesia to parents of Cantonese descent, Lo migrated to Hong Kong in his formative years, where he pursued his passion for acting by attending a reputable acting school. This decision ultimately led him to join the esteemed Shaw Brothers film company in 1962. By 1969, Lo had achieved unparalleled success, becoming the first kung fu superstar, a distinction that predates the legendary Bruce Lee. Throughout his illustrious career, Lo acted in more than 100 films, often taking on the role of a villain. However, he later transitioned to directing in the 1980s. For over a decade, ending in 1999, Lo remained actively involved in television work in Hong Kong, until his health began to decline, ultimately prompting him to enter semi-retirement.
