Chung Fat got a chance at the screen, playing a small role as an island security. He entered into the movies circle, at the front line more than 30 years, in addition to the jiangshi-themed films. Chung was not often cast in leading roles, and he had only three protagonist roles in his career, and also worked as a director, choreographer, and planner.
