When he first showed up on "Last of the Summer Wine" I thought he looked familiar but I didn't realize until I looked it up that he was Cato from the "Pink Panther" films.

I enjoyed his work.

R.I.P.

Peter Sellers simultaneously name-checked and anointed Burt Kwouk in "What's New, Pussycat?"'s opening scene while he's wrestling with his wife: "Do you realize I could slay you any moment I like by using the great Burt's judo method?"

A hard-working character actor who appeared in everything from UK children's television to the "Pink Panthers". I would like to highlight his important supporting role in the Ingrid Bergman film "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness" - and I was touched to read that he singled out that performance when interviewed for his OBE in 2011

I just watched Burt in the Hammer film "Terror of the Tongs" 2 nights ago, oddly enough.
