Hero of the Month: Maurice Liu
Posted on October 1st, 2009 by admin
Not much is known about actor Maurice Liu. According to Leonard Kohl’s Sinister Serials, Liu was a Chinese filmmaker who came to the US to study cinematography and got into acting for a short time. His most well known role was as Herman Brix’s servant/ sidekick, helping him track down master criminal Bela Lugosi in Victory’s Shadow of Chinatown (1936) serial.
His only other film credits are a small role in the Bing Crosby musical Waikiki Wedding (1937) and two uncredited bit parts in West of Shanghai (1937), a Boris Karloff thriller, and Daughter of Shanghai (1937) featuring Anna May Wong, Charles Bickford and Buster Crabbe.
After that, Liu apparently returned to his homeland.
