Late HK actor Ng Man-tat's five most memorable roles


Ng Man-tat

Legendary Hong Kong actor Ng Man-tat, who died February 27 of liver cancer at the age of 70, is best known for his comedic roles, most specifically those alongside Stephen Chow Sing-Chi.

But Ng was more versatile than most movie fans give him credit for, having won several best supporting actor awards throughout his career. While he hardly ever played the leading role in most of his films, his presence in any film was almost always memorable, whether playing a down-on-his-luck soccer coach, the bumbling sidekick to a gambling prodigy, or a former triad member.
