Bill Tung Biu/Dong Biao
Bill is one of the most loved and popular supporting actors through the 80's and 90s. In a recent theater showing of a film in which he has a small cameo (Just Heroes) he received a nice smattering of applause from the audience. He is best known to western audiences as Jackie Chan's boss in the Police Story films - but he has appeared in an enormous amount of films - usually family comedies such as Double Fattiness or the Mad Mad Mad World series of films. Another good one to look for is Bless this House in which he is the lead actor.
Uncle Bill has been a famous horseracing commentator in HK and Macau. He went to Macau after ATV lost the HK jockey racing TV rights to TVB in 1998. Recently, he has returned back to HK working again as a horseracing commentator. Oddly enough, in the film Its a Mad Mad World II, Bill attempts to get a job as a horse racing commentator, but fails the tryout miserably!
