Anyone liked the character or the actor who played, The Barber?


Shane Lacey, the actor who played the barber. He's a four star international grand champion in Kung Fu. He's lives and teaches in the Bay Area. Mostly the Tri-City Area (Fremont, Union City, and Newark). He's a badass. I remember in high school, he took on 4 gang member and whoop their A$$. I hope he gets more roles in the future.

I bumped into him at a restaurant a few years ago. He was very polite and enjoyed the fact someone recognized him from the film. When I checked out his website, it dawned on me, I remember when he would be featured on Kung Fu Theater w/Tat- Mau Wong. I actually taped one of the Lion Dancing competitions of KTSF 26, and that's where I remembered him from.
oh well.
Good luck Sifu Lacey

I met him a couple times too. Even before he did the movie Ghost Rock. He is a very polite guy and somewhat an intimidating guy. He takes his martial arts seriously. Matter of fact, back in 91 I went into to his kwoon (dojo) to check out how his martial arts class. I was considering of joining his school, but opted to take an Aikido class since it's my type of style (I'm more into passive martial art instead of competition). However, I do remember how hardcore his class was. He had kids that were younger than 10 years old paired up with teens and adults during sparring class. It's funny to see a younger kid spar against a 30 year old man. But I have to say some of these younger kids could kick ass too. And some of those 30 years old had too much pride to get their asses kicked by a 10 year old. And yes, I do remember that Tat Mau Wong show with Shane Lacey on channel 26. It would be nice to see that again. By any chance do you think you could youtube it and send me the link?? Much appreciated.
