Burt Kwouk

Sadly Burt Kwouk has died, perhaps most well known for his role as Cato/Kato in the Pink Panther series alongside Peter Sellers, but he also played the role of Japanese Major Yamauchi in the excellent series 'Tenko', which is worth a watch if you ever have a chance to.

RIP Mr Kwouk.

You beat me to it, Oberon... just heard.

I loved to see Bert Kwouk in anything he did; we grew up with him on TV and in films, a very great star and I was so sad to hear the news of his passing.

First I've heard of it. Also sad to see him go. I remember the villains he played, especially the drug-smuggling general in Air America, but of course the Pink Panther series was the best.

A fine and distinguished actor yet one I never realised was born in the UK.

RIP Mr Ling

He had the greatest line in that entire movie.

He outlived his former employer by 36 years. R.I.P. Burt.
