oh, that "Little Lizad"

Read over at the "Daily News" section of the HKMDB, a little news blip that Andy Tsang Tak-Wah, the Eddie Deezen of Hong Kong, known for walk on roles or as the guy complaining about a VCD he bought in Bio-Zombie or as food delivery boy in lift in Bullets Over Summer, has been jailed for raping a 15-year-old girl he lured through the internet.

"Andy Tsang Tak-wah, 31, nicknamed the "little lizard" and claiming to be a casual actor and owner of a modeling company, was found guilty of rape in the High Court last month.

Sentencing the accused yesterday, Deputy High Court Judge Patrick Li Hon-leung said Tsang - who made brief appearances in a handful of local movies and had a one-line talking role in Stephen Chow Sing-chi's 1998 film The Lucky Guy - played up his acting experience to cheat others and had shown no remorse or shame for his act.

"You are, basically, not an actor at all. As for your modeling business, it's very likely it too is a pack of lies aimed at bluffing and deceiving others," Li said."

"In mitigation, the defense counsel said a psychological report showed Tsang "has been living in his own world" and had convinced himself he was part of the entertainment business."

I am going to Hong Kong in a few weeks and curious to talk to some people I know who worked with him to get more back story on what seems to be a rather deluded life in showbiz...
