Jason Pai Piao

Born: 1946-07-24

Place of birth: Hong Kong, British Crown Colony [now China]

Born Liu Kuo-Yung in 1946, Jason Pai Piao has starred in many films. However, all of them failed to garner much attention. It wasn't until 1975, when Pai signed a contract with Hong Kong's newly founded television station CTV, that he became a household name with a string of popular costume martial arts TV series. Following CTV's demise in 1978, Pai starred in series for other stations and made a triumphant return to Shaw Brothers. From 1979 until the mid-1980's, he was one of the studio's busiest action stars with as many as five releases annually. In the 1990's, he continued to have major roles in action series and movies like "King Of Robbery".
