繁體中文

沈威（1948–2022），原名沈達威，香港男演員兼導演。佢1970年代為滿足演戲興趣而投身電影圈，成為國泰電影公司新晉演員，但因自覺當演員委屈、薪酬不高而轉行，做過龍虎武師同潛水員，1975年起任國泰宣傳部文員，1980年起任職法律行政人員，1984年回歸影圈後一邊喺律師樓工作一邊拍戲，1986年更停薪留職專心拍攝。1984年佢參演麥當雄執導嘅《省港旗兵》，憑兩面派阿泰一角於1985年奪第4屆香港電影金像獎最佳男配角，一舉成名；拍攝時導演曾安排佢被綁喺淋滿汽油嘅車上點火，佢真實嘅驚慌表情成為電影亮點。此後佢長期演配角同反派，亦涉足監製、編劇（筆名霍敬堯）同武術指導，執導過《新龍爭虎鬥》等，副導演及導演作品合計七部。1994至1998年佢加入無綫電視演出十多部劇集，2002年淡出影視圈定居北京，2017年曾復出接拍內地劇。2022年6月9日佢喺廣華醫院離世，享壽74歲。

Shum Wai (1948–2022), born Shum Tat-wai, was a Hong Kong actor and director. He entered films in the 1970s as a new actor at the Cathay studio to satisfy his love of acting, but found the treatment and pay discouraging and switched to stunt work and diving; from 1975 he was a clerk in Cathay's publicity department and from 1980 a legal executive. Returning to films in 1984 he acted while still working in a law firm, taking unpaid leave in 1986 to concentrate on shooting. His role as a double-dealing informer in a 1984 crime film directed by Johnny Mak won him best supporting actor at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1985, making his name; during the shoot the director had him tied to a petrol-soaked car and set alight, and his genuine panic became one of the film's highlights. He went on to play supporting and villainous roles and worked as producer, screenwriter under a pen name and action director, directing several films. He acted in more than a dozen television serials from 1994 to 1998, retired to Beijing in 2002 and briefly returned to acting in 2017. He died in Kwong Wah Hospital on 9 June 2022, aged 74.
