...jarring to see Eric Tsang angry. The jovial actor, whose ubiquity in Hong Kong films?he's been in nearly 150?has made him a fixture on cable systems throughout Asia, is synonymous with lowbrow high jinks and slapstick physicality. Yet here he is, feet planted defiantly on a Kowloon street, ignoring an imprecating photographer who is losing a race with the setting sun to snap a natural-light portrait. Tsang's full-moon of a face, which is seen onscreen usually deployed in an overwrought double take or wide-eyed surprise, is now reddening as he barks in Cantonese...
...Tsang might channel Elmer Fudd onscreen, but in real life he's all business, and indeed has aspirations to become an entertainment mogul. "Every actor has to specialize to survive," Tsang, 50, says. "My specialty is looking like a cartoon character."

Tsang and the DAB have been tainted by their close association with Hong Kong's Beijing-appointed Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa, who has been strongly criticized by the public for his handling of, among other issues, the economy and the SARS crisis. Tsang underestimated the growing...
...families are extremely grateful and very supportive of us and want their children in BRYE,” Tsang says. The support from the community and the continuity lent to BRYE by its term-time tutoring program, in which Nguyen teaches many of the same students she has in the summer, helps BRYE bring the kids up to speed. According to Tsang, the kids are far behind in their literacy skills when they’re thrown into the Boston Public Schools, but since “they’re smart kids and really motivated to learn, it?...
