RIP Burt Kwouk..

[Vipersan]

Aged 85 ..
Manservant extraordinaire ....
A fine actor in his own right ...not just as a sidekick..
I remember him from Tenko..
And LOTSW ...
..another one bites the dust..

 

[Lazarus]

Tenko .... was that the Episode famously scripted by Ed Reardon?

 

[Llew]

That's sad indeed. Did some of the Bond films too, and, although of Chinese descent, he played a Japanese Major in TV's Tenko.

R.I.P Bert.

A very memorable actor. R.I.P

I remember him going back to the early days. He appeared in programmes such as The Avengers which is where I first noticed him.

He changed his name on at least four occasions from memory. Nothing to do with tax payments/offshore links of course.

Missed the Bert/Burt bit though.

Burt was narrator of this programme

 

[Lazarus]

Nice Obit in my Torygraph today, including this pertinent snippet:

He was sanguine about Clouseau's affectionate references to Cato as his "little yellow friend".

"They can call me anything they like", he once said, "as long as I get paid and my name is spelt correctly"


Class. RIP Burt Kwouk
