A: Yes at the Nedlloyd building.
Q: Is that building with the long sideways window real?
A: Yes and very high too.
Q: Can people know the names of the places to go visit, especially the apartment building that looks like a busted Rubik's Cube? Same for the restaurant, is that a real place tourists can go to?
A: Yes, but not really direct. It's just an architectical idea.
Q: Were you there when Jackie shot that "slide" stunt or was your scene done separately?
A: One day after I was finished he did the scene.
Q: Was your scene done on a high rooftop [as well]?
A: Yes 23 floors high.
Q: If so what safety precautions were taken? There was one outtake at the end where Jackie rolls off the roof. It looked scary!
A: Not one, only a cable for Jackie.
Q: On your Web page you say Jackie changed the script for you. He is rumored to have a big ego, but he treated you generously in the film.
A: Yes, he has a big ego, but I respect him as an actor.
Q: A lot of the moves take advantage of your particular physical traits and special skills. Did he work with you on the visual jokes as you filmed?
A: He taught me how to have pain in a funny way!!!
Q: Did you experiment with props like your clothing and the handheld items?
A: Only with the jacket and the tie.

A: No, I had to look shy and after I cracked my head I changed meaner.
Q: The film lists Jackie and Benny Chan as co-directors. Are they like Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen (Kelly would do the dance numbers and Donen the story scenes)?
A: Benny wanted to make the movie more serious, Jackie preferred more humour.
Q: Did you work only with Jackie as director on your scene, or was Benny Chan also involved?
A: Jackie has the final word!!!!!!! Jackie worked close with Sam Wong, a very good stunt director; they thought about the fight.
Q: Jackie is known to have a fixed group of regular martial arts experts who are his "posse" but most of Who Am I? does not have Chinese fighters. Did he still travel and work on choreography with his group?

Q: If so, how did you and the other young man [David Leong] in your scene fit into all that?
A: Maybe he wanted something new !!!!!!!!
Q: Has the Asian business market downturn affected martial arts film productions?
A: Yes sure !!!!!!
Q: Has that caused you trouble getting jobs in films?
A: A little, Jackie promished me a part in Police Story V and for this reason it was delayed.
Q: We are getting a lot of email about a new kind of martial arts discipline. They mention the Russians a lot. It's called "sambo" or "sando" or something. Do you know anything about this?

Q: Did Who Am I run in theaters where you live?
A: Not yet, Holland is very Late.

Q: Finally: How painful was that watchband-up-the-nose? Yikes!
A: The point was really in my nose, so I didn't have to act!
