SAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Burt Kwouk Dies

remember him from his role in one of the 5th Doctor's adventures - 4 to Doomsday and his role as the Japanese prison camp commander in Tenko (which also featured Louise Jameson).
 
I think he deserves a Thread!

R.I.P., Cato...

"Burt Kwouk, who was best known for playing Inspector Clouseau's manservant Cato in the Pink Panther films, has died aged 85.

He appeared in seven Pink Panther films opposite Peter Sellers as Clouseau's servant who regularly attacked his employer to keep him alert.

He also starred in BBC sitcom Last of the Summer Wine from 2002 to 2010.

The actor, who was born in Warrington but raised in Shanghai, was awarded an OBE in the 2011 New Year Honours List."

A statement issued by his agent said: "Beloved actor Burt Kwouk has sadly passed peacefully away. The family will be having a private funeral but there will be a memoria
l at a later date."
