My Take
Ray Lui carries the weight of an entire era of Hong Kong screen culture, and that is why he fascinates me. Born in Saigon's Chợ Lớn with ancestry in Guangdong, his very biography reads like one of his films. His Ting Lik in The Bund and his gangster turn in To Be Number One are touchstones for anyone who loves the gritty glamour of 1980s and 90s Hong Kong drama. There is a gravitas to him, a Capricorn steadiness, that let him play both heroes and villains convincingly. For viewers of a certain generation, his face is unmistakable.
