Performing experience
Chung Fat is a disciple of Madame Fan Kuk-fa of The Spring and Autumn Drama School, and a member of the Han ethnicity. When he was a teenager he was a Northern Praying Mantis practitioner with Lam Ching-ying, under Madame Fok. He is proficient in a variety of martial arts weapons. He debuted very early shooting "Enter the Dragon" (1973) with Bruce Lee:[1] Chung states, "You need thousands of extras, some of which must be the pinnacle of martial arts, Lam Ching-ying was the fellow with the opportunity when they were hiring extras". Chung Fat got a chance at the screen, playing a small role as an island security. He entered into the movies circle, at the front line more than 30 years, in addition to the jiangshi-themed films. Chung was not often cast in leading roles, and he had only three protagonist roles in his career, and also worked as a director, choreographer, and planner. Most of his roles are villains, and had a long-term collaboration with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. In 2013 he was invited back to the silver screen by Juno Mak to film his new jiangshi film, Rigor Mortis.[2][3]
