Ich hab auch noch ein paar Sachen gefunden:
Lo Si
 
Kim Chan
| Quote: |  Kim Chan
Born in Toishan Province/China
Birthdate Unknown
Lo Si/The Ancient
Biography
Probably best recognized from his role as “Lo Si/The Ancient” on TV’s Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, Kim Chan’s natural charisma raised him from bit parts to a featured player. As a teenager in 1928, Chan came with his older sister to New York from China's Toishan province. He began his performing career in the 1940s, as an extra playing Japanese soldiers, all the while working in his family’s well known New York restaurant, House of Chan. When he discovered that the $125 he got for being an extra beat the $50 a week he got at the restaurant, he knew he’d found his calling. Chan never took any formal acting lessons, but that didn’t stop him from earning featured roles in films such as The King of Comedy and Kundun. His most recent acting job was as the reoccurring character “Eggman” on TV action series Now and Again.

Young at Heart and Just About to Start
Bloody Marvelous: Cast and crew were in stitches working with young-at-heart actor (but don’t call him an “actor” because he’s never taken acting lessons and he honed his craft by studying terrible actors and learning what not to do) Kim Chan (Lethal Weapon 4, Fifth Element) in Zen Noir, the first independent feature film by award-winning, theater director Marc Rosenbush. Rosenbush has been working on the Buddhist murder mystery over the past nine years and wrote the lead part with Chan in mind. “We’re lucky to get [Chan] and feel that this is the best role he’s ever played,” remarks Rosenbush. During the filming, Chan kept looking for a place to slip in his “bloody marvelous” signature statement — which he happily reports he succeeded in doing near the end of filming. Chan was also successful in recruiting his good friend, Bay Area native actor Howard Fong (The Joy Luck Club), as the lead monk. This fall, Chan will be appearing in an episode of Law and Order where he lectures on Chinese calligraphy. Chan, known to correct scriptwriters on incorrect lines, was given the following line: “Calligraphy is the greatest achievement of the Chinese people.” Chan interjects: “Now we all know that’s not true. ... the Great Wall, gunpowder, the compass … now those are some of the greatest achievements.” Next up for Chan is the NYC stage, starring as the “Crimeboss” in the current running Spanish Mob, a comedy/musical about five Italian mobsters. Doesn’t an Italian Crimeboss have to speak Italian? “I do. I speak Street Italian,” boasts Chan, which he learned as a boy while hanging out at his sister’s laundry in Little Italy.

Kommt mir das nur so vor - Ich finde Kim sieht keinen Tag älter aus, wie in Fu!  Kann es sein, dass er ein Unsterblicher ist? Spätestens seit dem Highlander wissen wir ja, das es sowas gibt...  |

Kim Chan ist für mich eigentlich ein Phänomen. Ich wünschte, alle Menschen wären in seinem Alter noch so agil und auf Zack, wie Kim Chan es ist.
Fanberichten zufolge ist er ein ausgesprochen höflicher und zuvorkommender Mensch, der für Jeden ein nettes Wort auf den Lippen hat und auch immer zu Streichen aufgelegt ist.
Ich mag ihn total gerne._________________ "What I would or wouldn't do in this situation doesn't count, because it probably would be very scary."

I think on the Fu-episode, where Lo Si won the jackpot in the lottery and the woman love Lo Si (much teh money as him....) |

Ich habe in meinem Buch(Kung FU Book of Caine) folgenden Satz gefunden Ich hoffe, zitieren ist erlaubt)
<Interestling enough, Kim Chan, who plays the Ancient in the new series, is , in fact, a Shaolin master. He was, Carradine says, " hired because he gave a good reading...and it was only after we were on the set that we found he was the real thing...which we had never had before".
Was sagt euch dieser Satz? Ich würde gern Meinungen darüber hören.

Das klingt für mich so, als sei Kim Chan das Bindeglied von der Fiktion der Serie zur tatsächlichen Shaolin-Lehre, da er selbst Shaolin ist (und Chinese)! Er verleiht den Geschichten das berühmte Körnchen Wahrheit. Das könnte mit dem "real thing" gemeint sein, Shaolin Lehre aus erster Hand, denn David weiß zwar auch viel darüber, ist aber kein Shaolin und schon gar kein Chinese. Denn die westliche und die östliche Welt sind schon sehr verschieden. Kim Chan ist mit den Lehren und Philosophien seines Landes aufgewachsen, das ist etwas ganz anderes, als nur darüber gelesen zu haben. Und der Mann ist ja schon rein optisch filmreif, vom Rest ganz zu schweigen! 
Und diese ganz verschiedenen Charaktere machen ja erst den Reiz der Serie aus. Stellt nur mal Kermit und Lo Si nebeneinander...
Sorry für Kermit mit Bart, aber das passte grade so schön! _________________

Mir geht es auch so, daß ich es so verstanden habe, als ob Kim Chan Shaolin wäre. Deswegen wollte ich gern mal andere Meinungen darüber hören.
Temple Girl: Deine Interpretation finde ich auch interessant. Jedenfalls ist die ganze Sache sehr mysteriös und man weiß ja wirklich nicht viel über Kim Chan.

Linda, this is a question you may help us with an anwer.
funny bought the "Kung Fu Book of Caine" and she found this:
| Quote: | <Interestling enough, Kim Chan, who plays the Ancient in the new series, is , in fact, a Shaolin master. He was, Carradine says, " hired because he gave a good reading...and it was only after we were on the set that we found he was the real thing...which we had never had before".
|
Now we are all trying to find out, if understood this right. Is Kim Chan really a Shaolin? or what does this mean?_________________

| I have read this quote too, somewhere else (maybe in Endless Highway?, I am not sure) and what is left from it in my memory tells me that he spoke about Kim Chan as Kung Fu-Master? But I am not sure also...

| Laut dem Buchtext würde ich auch annehmen, dass Kim Chan ein Shaolin ist! Bei ihm würde mich sowieso fast rein garnichts mehr wundern... |

Im 3. Teil vom "Making of KF:TLC" sagt Chris übrigens daselbe über Kim Chan (Szene bei 1:38 ):
In "Making of KF:TLC" there is Chris telling exactly this about Kim Chan:
| Quote: | | CP: "There is something about Kim Chan that's ...eh... is a mystical in itself. He is a master of Kung Fu and he ... he brings all that to the role." |
