Read enough about actor Simon Yam and you’ll find he’s led quite a life. Just looking him up this morning I was today years old when I learned he survived a knife attack just a few years ago – I’m not really sure if any western outlets forwarded this update, otherwise I think I might have known about it. 2019 was also a pretty crazy year for me too. I was going through… well…. stuff.
At any rate though, any day is a good day if you’re a longstanding fan of Hong Kong film entertainment and you’ve followed Yam’s career just as amply. He was just in Benny Chan’s Raging Fire for a cameo opposite Donnie Yen, and also appears in crime thriller Sheep Without A Shephed 2, and he’s back once more, leading his newest outing in Richard Lin’s latest explosive affair, Man’s Creed, a story set in the drug trade and centers on an innocent ex-con, forced to commit to a deadly task in order to save his wife and daughter (according to a rough translation from an online source in Mandarin).
Actresses Zhang Lanxin and Sabrina Qiu also star along with Francis Ng and Kenneth Tsang for the film’s mainland release this month.
