Early life edit
Chung was born on 2 December 1953. He is a native of Guangdong province and of Han ethnicity. As a teenager, he was a Northern Praying Mantis practitioner with Lam Ching-ying, under Madame Fok's guidance. He became proficient in the use of a great variety of martial arts weapons and techniques.
He was trained by Madame Fan Kuk-fa of The Spring and Autumn Drama School.
Performing experience edit
Chung Fat had his debut in Enter the Dragon (1973), in a small role as a security guard who fails to capture Bruce Lee.[1] In over thirty years in the movie business, Chung only had three protagonist roles in his career, instead often being cast in supporting, secondary or mainly villain roles.[citation needed] He has also worked as a director, choreographer, and planner. He had a long-term collaboration with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung.
By the 21st century his film appearances had mostly faded out, though he continued to appear in commercials. However, in 2013 he returned to the silver screen in Juno Mak's jiangshi film Rigor Mortis.[2][3]
