Wong Ching-Ho

One of the most recognizable Shaw Brothers faces. Never starred in any movie (at least none I’ve seen), but seems to have played a small part in nearly all of them.

The Flag Of Iron (1980):
Plays Mr. Hu, who seems to be the bookkeeper or treasurer for the Iron Flag Clan. Fails to send money to Luo Xin (Philip Kwok) in exile, as agreed. Also seems to be aware of all of Cao Feng’s (Lu Feng’s) evil schemes, though it’s not clear how big a part he plays in carrying them out.
The Sword Stained With Royal Blood (1981):
Plays Muk Shon, the elder who helps raise Yuan Cheng-Chih (Philip Kwok) and apparently loves playing chess. We see him only twice: once playing chess with Yuan, and once giving him a chess set on their parting.
Shaolin Intruders (1983):
Plays the keeper of the inn where our heroes stay while they’re trying to get through the trials at the Shaolin Temple. Only has a couple of lines before being killed, which makes me wonder why they bothered to cast him. Maybe he had more scenes that didn’t survive the editing process?
