Shek Kin (1913-2009)

June 7, 2009 by Yein Jee

Veteran Hong Kong actor Shek Kin passed away on June 3 at the age of 96. Most famous for his numerous villain roles, Shek had starred in more than 300 dramas and movies in a career that spanned over 50 years. Rest in peace.

Westerners would probably known him for his play in 1972 film Enter The Dragon as the nemesis of another Chinese legend, Bruce Lee…

Despite being synonymous with his evil roles, Uncle Kin, as he was affectionately called, was popularly known as a nice guy and great role model in real life.

On side note, does the claws (in the video) remind you of Wolverine? The film was made a year before Wolverine first appeared in a comic… coincidence?
