Except George Lazenby, Chris MItchum, Birte Tove and John Saxon, are there any other white actors who played in Golden Harvest, Shaws or any other Chinese company and did they have success ?

John Saxon seems to have played in only Enter the dragon, but he was already a star in his country.

Was it the same for Chris Mitchum for instance ?

Paul Rapovski is a Canadian martial artist who appeared in Spider Force, My Father is a Hero, Hitman, and Extreme Challenge (the film debut of Scott Adkins) before returning to Canada to work as a stunt coordinator there. 

Swiss-born Mickey Hardt did one Hong Kong film, The Twins Effect, but was discovered by Donnie Yen, who cast him in the German TV series Der Puma: Kampfer mit Herz. After Twins Effect. Hardt did a two film franchise as former kickboxer turned sports photographer Max Havoc in Curse of the Dragon (which caused some controversy due to some back loans the producer owed to the Guam government) and Ring of Fire before returning to work on film and TV in Germany while still holding his two other passions: music and martial arts.
