  • Burt Kwouk is an English-born actor who was raised in Shanghai until he was about 17 years old. He has appeared in numerous films and television programmes. He may be most famous for playing Cato, Inspector Clouseau's man-servant in the Pink Panther films. The running gag was that Cato was ordered to attack Clouseau when he least expected it to keep him alert, usually resulting in Clouseau's apartment being wrecked. Amid the chaos, the phone would ring and Cato answered it with "Hello: Inspector Clouseau's residence" before dutifully handing the phone to his employer. His sharp features also meant that he has played his fair share of villain, and he has the distinction of appearing in more James Bond films in differing roles than any other actor. In Goldfinger (1964) he was an eastern agent counterpart of Bond's; in the spoof Casino Royale (1967) he was a General and in You Only Live Twice (1967) he played the part of a Japanese operative of Ernst Stavro Blofeld. He also appeared as the honourable, but misguided Major Yamauchi in the 1980s World War II drama, Tenko. In another notable film role, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) Burt was the leader of a prison revolt who later aids the main character in heroically leading orphans to safety but dies in the attempt. During the 1970s, Kwouk featured in many UK television productions that called for a man of East Asian appearance. As a result, he became something of a cult figure in the United Kingdom and appeared as himself in The Harry Hill Show. He currently stars in the long-running series Last of the Summer Wine. He has also appeared in adverts for betting company, Bet365.

  • Burt Kwouk on kiinalais-englantilainen näyttelijä, joka tuli tunnetuksi Blake Edwardsin Vaaleanpunainen pantteri -elokuvista. Kwouk näytteli yhteensä seitsemässä Vaaleanpunainen pantteri -elokuvassa ja hänen roolinsa oli olla Peter Sellersin näyttelemän komisario Jacques Clouseaun kiinalainen miespalvelija Kato Fong. Koska Clouseau oli käskenyt Fongin hyökätä hänen kimppuunsa aina kun mahdollista itsepuolustustaitojensa ylläpitämiseksi, Kwouk ja Sellers ottivat elokuvan merkeissä yhteen jokaisessa elokuvassa. Kwouk on syntynyt Manchesterissä, mutta hänen juurensa ovat Shanghaissa ja hänen äitinsä on kiinalainen. Kwouk on näytellyt myös kahdessa James Bond -elokuvassa.
