Born Too Late
There are some Shaw actors who, for whatever reason, are not as well known or as famous as they should have been. This could have been due to many factors such as a fickle HK movie going crowd in the late '70s/early '80s, not working with the right directors, too ugly or possibly just born too late. Here are some of people that we feel should have been bigger stars if only born 5 years earlier.

Hardest-Working Nobodies
Not everyone can be a Ti Lung, a Chen Kuan Tai or a Gordon Liu. There’re only so many roles for physically-gifted brats like Fu Sheng and Wong Yu. But at the end of the day, a star can only standout against the contrast provided by the work-a-day schlubs who fill out the background of the movie. This is our appreciation for the Always-a-Bride’s-Maid-Never-a-Brides of Shaw Studios, a feature we call Hardest-Working Nobodies.

For the movies that aren't proper Shaw films, but carry over enough talent or spirit that they might as well be.
