One of the most interesting actors in the Euro-western
genre was George Wang, whose reaal name was Wang Chunyang. He was born in Liao
Ning Andong Province, China in 1926 and got his start in the Chinese film
industry before he was involved in a Chines produced movie that was filmed in
Italy. He was so taken aback by the country and was immediately found himself
in high demand as one of the only Oriental actors available to play villains.
He wound up appearing in more than a dozen Spaghetti Westerns. He moved to Hong
Kong in 1978 and started a film production company there. George died of a
heart attack in 2015 at age 96.
