Lam Wai
(Lin Wei, David Lam)
Actor
A native of Taiwan, Lam Wai first came to attention in 1984 with his role as the leader
of a group of Mainland would-be jewel thieves in Johnny Mak's classic Long Arm
of the Law. He got started in movies with bit part roles at Shaw Brothers studios,
and after establishing himself as a lead actor, he participated in numerous crime,
action, and gangster films throughout the 1980's and 90's.
Many of these roles, such as in Project A II with Jackie Chan, and Royal Warriors
with Michelle Yeoh, were as bad guys.
