Tzi Ma Movies
Chinese American actor Tzi Ma has an impressively long résumé, with roles on everything from The Cosby Show to Walker, Texas Ranger. Guest appearances would be Ma's bread and butter, but the versatile actor would also cultivate a successful career in film, portraying many memorable characters in movies, like The Ladykillers. In 2005, Ma took on the recurring part of Chinese Consulate Cheng Zhi for the fourth season of the series 24, a role he would reprise for seasons five and six. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
Peter Bogdanovich wrote and directed this quirky romantic comedy that was shelved by Twentieth Century-Fox for a year, until Bogdanovich purchased the film from Fox and tried to distribute it himself, with limited success. Suave John Russo (Ben Gazzara), inept Charles Rutledge (John Ritter), and hip Arthur Brodsky (Blaine Novak) all work for a detective agency, where they are assigned to follow a trio of beautiful women -- Angela Niotes (Audrey Hepburn), Deborah Wilson (Patti Hansen) and Dolores Martin (Dorothy Stratten) -- whom their husbands think are cheating on them. Soon the three detectives all become romantically involved with the women they are trailing. In a real life scenario that overshadowed the film itself, Bogdanovich was having an affair with Dorothy Stratten during the production and they were being followed by a detective hired by her husband Paul Snider, who as a result ended up murdering his wife and himself. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
