Biography |
|
One of the first male stars thanks to the Shaw Brothers, Zhao Lei was born in Beijing in 1928. He emigrates to Hong Kong in 1947 and works as a bank clerk, until 1953, when he joins the Shaw Brothers' studio.
Most of his career is made on the sets of Clearwater Bay, over a period of nearly 20 years. His speciality is to play emperors, a type of role that he plays much during his glory time (the 50s/early 60s). Thus he is the seducing emperor in The Kingdom And The Beauty.
In 1964, he changes sides and is under contract with Cathay. He appears in more than ten productions of the studio but he doesn't manage to find again the stardom he had when he worked for the Shaw Brothers.
