Jeffrey Ho Wai-lung (Chinese: 何偉龍; 1956[1] – 7 January 2014[2]) was a Hong Kong actor and director. He founded Wan Chai Theatre[a] (now Whole Theatre[b]). In addition to stage performances, he also appeared in film and television productions. One of his most recognizable roles was as the unscrupulous real estate company owner So Chung[c] in the sitcom City Japes.[d][3]
Biography
[edit]Ho was born in Hong Kong and later traveled to Canada to pursue drama studies. He graduated from York University and received professional training at the National Theatre School of Canada.[1] After returning to Hong Kong in 1979, he became one of the first full-time actors of the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre after being interviewed by Chung King-fai.[1][2] Ho remained active on the local stage thereafter.[1]
From 1987 to 1992, he served as artistic director of the Wan Chai Theatre, dedicating himself to the promotion of amateur and community theatre and to nurturing a new generation of theatre practitioners. In 1993, he rejoined the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre as assistant artistic director until 2002.[1]
Death
[edit]Ho suffered from congenital diabetes, which later led to kidney failure, requiring a kidney transplant. After the transplant, long-term use of steroids and anti-rejection medication caused bodily swelling, and his mobility declined in his later years.[4] He passed away on 7 January 2014, at the age of 58.[2] A memorial service was held on 27 January.[5]
