Burt Kwouk, veteran of the "Pink Panther" movies, dies at 85
He was not on the list.
Burt Kwouk, who played martial arts expert Cato in the comic
"Pink Panther" films, has died. He was 85.
Kwouk's agent, Jean Diamond, said in a statement that he
"passed peacefully" on Tuesday. She didn't give a cause of death.
Born in northwest England and raised in Shanghai, Kwouk had
his breakthrough film role in "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness" in
1958, and appeared in the James Bond films "Goldfinger" and "You
Only Live Twice."
In 1964, Blake Edwards cast him in "A Shot in the
Dark," a comedy centered on Peter Sellers' bumbling Inspector Clouseau.
Kwouk appeared in half a dozen more "Pink Panther" movies as Cato
Fong, a manservant whose job was to attack Clouseau when he least expected it.
Diamond said Kwouk's funeral would be private.
