The entertainment world is brokenhearted following the sudden and unexpected passing of a famous voice actor Shi Banyu, who passed away from a sudden heart attack at the age of 66.
With ancestral roots in Guilin, Guangxi, Shi was born on March 9, 1958, in Taiwan Province. In 1983, he started doing voice acting. In 1990, he provided the Mandarin voice for Stephen Chow in the movie “God of Gamblers” and became known to every household. Zhou’s exaggerated acting style and Shi’s funny voice made a perfect match, and Shi quickly became Zhou’s “voice”.
In 1993, Shi voiced for the television series “The Legend Of White Snake” and his voice became more well known. His distinctive voice helped him get numerous roles in other movies and TV shows, including “Corner With Love,” “Young and Dangerous,” and “Flirting Scholar”. According to data from Maoyan Professional Edition, Shi’s last project was the 2023 series “Immortal God King” on Youku.
The news shattered a lot of hearts. Stephen Chow expressed his condolences (哀悼) on social media, saying: “In loving memory of Mr. Shi Banyu.” A fan named Hai Xin, a screenwriter, sorrowfully shared memories of the first time he heard Shi’s voice in the movie “Flirting Scholar” and expressed gratitude for the joy his voice brought to so many.
Shi’s unique voice and distinctive style made a big impact on the Chinese entertainment industry. He brought characters to life and made many people laugh. One person on social media said, “The magical laughter is gone. We used to laugh so much while watching movies, but now we are like the little characters in Stephen Chow’s films, trying to chase our dreams. But the magical laughter and memories will always inspire us to keep going and not give up.”
