In his late teens, he started to get bit parts in TV & Film, while taking any non acting jobs, so he could fully support himself. His first starring role was in the Joseph Merhi/Stephen Smoke directed Final Impact(1992), starring alongside Lorenzo Lama's(Renegade T.V Show/Snake Eater). This led to a starring role alongside Dennis Farina in the movie Street Crimes(1992), made the same year. He lost the part of Robin, in the 1994 movie Batman Forever starring Val Kilmer.

Member AlbertV Posted August 2, 2017 Member Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) courtesy of our own @kingofkungfu2002 - one of my favorite tributes Michael almost got his redemption for losing the role to Robin. He's the goon wearing a neon grass skirt who throws a outside crescent kick before Chris O'Donnell knocks him down.

Last I heard about the project, they were trying to get Bolo Yeung to say some comments about his Bruceploitation experiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted January 3, 2018 Author Member Share Posted January 3, 2018 I hope Michael Worth let Ho Chung Tao know, that he still has plenty of fans in the West. Not all of them were around when he first hit cinemas either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved that, and I remember he told me he almost got his "revenge" on Chris O'Donnell when instead of Robin, he was relegated to playing a minor role as one of Don "The Dragon" Wilson's gang members. A co-worker recently gave me the first season of Acapulco H.E.A.T., where Michael played martial arts expert Tommy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
