Burt Kwouk (Chinese: éƒå¼¼; pinyin: GuÅ Bì) (born July 18, 1930) is an actor who was born in Manchester, England. He has appeared in an enormous number of films and TV programmes over the years and is perhaps most famous for playing Cato, Inspector Clouseau's man-servant in the Pink Panther films.
Having appeared for many years in virtually any UK production that called for a man of East Asian appearance, Kwouk is much loved in the UK and is a bit of a cult figure for children of the 1970s—hence his appearances in Harry Hill's TV programme as himself. In the 60's, he played henchmen in two Bond films, Goldfinger, and You Only Live Twice
He also appeared in the Doctor Who story Four to Doomsday in 1981; and on the Doctor Who audio drama Loups-Garoux. He currently plays Entwistle in Last of the Summer Wine.
