Leung Sing Poh
Acting
Leung Sing Po made his debut in Cantonese Opera at the age of 17. In the beginning he took civil and martial roles, but later because of his round and comic appearance, he specialised in clownish roles. Such was his success that he was often called "The King of Clowns". In 1950, Leung started to appear in films and he made near 400 movies in his career. Films in which Leung appeared as the lead actor include the Silly Wong and The Dunce and so on. From 1967 onwards, he became the host and one of the main anchors of the TV variety show Enjoy Yourself Tonight. Leung was also twice the president of The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong, and its chairman for four years. In 1976, he was made an MBE, the first local artist ever to receive that honour. Died 2.14.1981
