BANKER played by GORDON LIU - The Rival
Rich. Successful. Expensively dressed. Oozing with self-confidence. Who wouldn't be when they're a business partner of the successful investment bank Silverman Sisters? The BANKER seems to have everything that PAUL does not. At least PAUL found something called love. Surely money can't buy everything? A veteran of Hong Kong cinema and accomplished martial artist, MASTER LIU's distinguished career spans over thirty years and he continues to be a regular in Asian movies and on Asian television. Western audiences would likely be more familiar with his infamous roles in Quentin Tarantino's double-bill masterpiece Kill Bill, as the yakuza head in Volume I and as the kung-fu master in Volume II. http://www.alivenotdead.com/gordonliu/ |
