I only have one: Chia Hui Liu (aka Gordon Liu) who was a kung fu star for Shaw Brothers in the 70's and 80's.

The rest of my faves are pretty populist.

All of my actors are pretty well-loved, but I'm the only one that puts David Webb Peoples and Michael Wilson among my favorite writers. Also, only 3 other people have Tomas Alfredson listed as a favorite director.

After seeing that amazing video, I don't think he will be a unique favorite for long. Anyways, for me

Directors

Johnnie To (big surprise, considering he is a popular HK action ace)
Sung-su Kim (no surprise, but a huge source of sadness, considering he hasn't directed a film since 2006)

I once called paul ws Anderson a guilty pleasure and got a pm shaming me for suggesting appreciating him should inspire guilt.

Now im on a podcast where we have a segment where we relate all the movies we talk about on each episode to his Event Horizon so i guess I've turned my guilt into pride
