Chung Fat had his debut in Enter the Dragon (1973), in a small role as a security guard who fails to capture Bruce Lee.^[1] In over thirty years in the movie business, Chung only had three protagonist roles in his career, instead often being cast in supporting, secondary or mainly villain roles.^{[citation needed]} He has also worked as a director, choreographer, and planner. He had a long-term collaboration with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung.
