Hong Kong actor Kenneth Tsang had tested negative for COVID-19 just before he died Wednesday while isolating in a hotel upon returning from Singapore.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam says the city will lift flight bans on nine countries, including Britain and the U.S., starting April 1.In addition to memorable roles in Hong Kong films such as “A Better Tomorrow” and “The Killer” , Tsang was known for his work in Hollywood movies such as “Rush Hour 2" and the James Bond movie “Die Another Day” .
The award-winning performer made his Hollywood debut in 1998’s “The Replacement Killers,” directed by Antoine Fuqua. The action flick starred Tsang as Terence Wei, a crime boss seeking to avenge his son’s death. For his turn as Tony Wong in the crime thriller “Overheard 3,” Tsang won the Hong Kong Film Award for supporting actor in 2015. He was nominated for the same prize at the 2012 Hong Kong Film Awards for his performance in “Overheard 2" — which won him the supporting actor trophy at the 2012 China Film Media Awards.The decision to test all 7 million residents comes as Hong Kong grapples with its worst COVID-19 outbreak to date, driven by the Omicron variant.
Before he became a movie star, Tsang graduated with a degree in architecture from UC Berkeley, according to the South China Morning Post. He also appeared in dozens of TV series, including “The Greed of Man,” starring Tsang as Lung family patriarch Sing-bong.
