Uncertain identification. ANICA and IMDb identify him in this role, but he has no other credits so there is no way to confirm the ID

Unidentified, maybe credit only

luong.jpg
Ham Chau Luong
(credited as Luong-Ham-Chau)
as Buddhist high priest
Uncertain identification. ANICA and IMDb identify him in this role, but it seems dubious since he was only aged around 40 when this was made. Ham does have other roles listed on IMDb so we may be able to confirm the ID, or not

Uncertain identification. ANICA and IMDb identify him in this role, but he has no other credits so there is no way to confirm the ID. He seems the appropriate age to be Ham Chau Luong.

The N.21 on the left looks like Paul Muller.

I don't think it would be Muller, he was a well known actor at this time and this is only a background role as a guard

in fact it seems very strange to me too but he’s similar.

In my opinion, the white-bearded guy in pics 2, 53, 59 and 80 is Ho Fu Ling in yet another role. Also looks like him on the right in pic 31 in what I assume is yet another role.

And in pic 50, I believe we also have another role for Cho-Cha-Lung - the one dressed in green.

I hadn't considered that before, hmmm, maybe, can't say I'm certain. Yes for the other role, as to whether or not it counts as another role depends if "tavern customer simultaneously in different position in the tavern" counts as a second role :laughing:

Yes and possibly 2 more roles too?
