Herman Kwan was a Hong Kong actor. He started off as a Cantonese opera actor in street theater before joining New Voice Opera Troupe. He also started singing for early Hong Kong film soundtracks and moved on to act in films, mostly adaption of opera in Cantonese. He became famous and acted in many lead roles. When Hong Kong films started to move towards Mandarin, Kwan's career faltered, and he joined TVB and acted in various roles. Directors and filmmakers rediscovered his talent and cast him in many supporting roles in films.

In 2001, he suffered from an apoplexy attack and was left paralyzed and mute. His condition improved, but relapsed at times. On the morning of 11 September 2006, Kwan's fourth wife noticed that he was not feeling well and sent him to Kwong Wah Hospital. Kwan died shortly later from complications arising from high blood pressure and diabetes. Edit Biography
