Kenneth Tsang, Veteran Hong Kong Actor, Dies at 87 (The New York Times)

Mr. Tsang, who was known for tough-guy supporting roles and ubiquitous hair dye advertisements, was found dead while in hotel quarantine.

He continued acting and appearing in commercials into his 80s. He turned to film and television through the help of his younger sister, Jeanette Lin Chui, who was already an actor. His catch phrase: “It can gradually darken, and also immediately darken.” He studied architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, but said he felt his skills were underused in the Hong Kong construction industry. His death was confirmed by his manager, Andrew Ooi. A cause of death was not immediately reported. HONG KONG — Kenneth Tsang, a Hong Kong actor known for his tough-guy supporting roles as cops, crime bosses and kung fu masters, and as a ubiquitous TV pitchman for hair dye, died on Wednesday while in hotel quarantine in the city.
