His first and most famous acting job was in the Bruce Lee film Way Of The Dragon, in which he played a thug in a back alley, and recently he was invited to play the role of Lee's headmaster in the biopic Bruce Lee, My Brother. Behind the scenes he has worked as a journalist writing about entertainment, music publisher, and as A&R Manager at EMI (HK) Limited in the 1970s and Managing Director of BMG Pacific Limited from 1989 to 1992.

A great number of pop bands appeared in Hong Kong during the golden era of the British Pop Music (1964 thru 1969). Musicians of different nationalities (Chinese, British, Swedish, Portuguese, Filipinos, Indians, among others) were active in Hong Kong, normally covering versions of songs from the UK and the USA. This is my tribute to those magnificent Hongkong Pop Artists that were part of my happy teenage days.
A very dedicated n respectable figure in the music and entertainment industry in HongKong. Appreciates his contribution to the musical world.
