To be sure, many of his acting assignments have called for straight interpretations, notably his roles in such films "Satan Never Sleeps" (1961) and "The Brides of Fu Manchu" (1965). But Kwouk is best known for his role as karate champ Cato Fong, right-hand man of the hapless Inspector Clouseau ("Peter Sellers").
