Sammo Hung
Sammo Hung (Template:Zh-cp; Cantonese: Hung4 Gam1 Bou2) (born January 7, 1952) is a Kung Fu movies actor and director.
His distinctive image is of a fat man who is a suprisingly agile and formidable martial artist.
He was born in Hong Kong. He was one of the Seven Little Fortunes Chinese opera troupe as a youth, along with Jackie Chan. He choreographed fights for Bruce Lee, King Hu and John Woo.
In the late 90s, Hung starred in an American television series by CBS called Martial Law (1998–2000), with Arsenio Hall as his costar. Reportedly he recited his English dialogue by rote.
Hung is one of the celebrities honoured on the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars.
