even more off-topic, sorry Prince.... but Damn... as I recall there were two actors who played Pigsy across the series. Of course, Tripitaka was played by a female model/actress who died very young - the BBC production dubbing has a lot of fun over the gender ambiguity using a female voice actress and some comments by the other characters about his/her attractiveness. The actor who played Monkey went on to have a successful cooking show on Japanese TV, and also played Colombo in the Japanese version of, well
Colombo.
When you travel through Asia nearly everyone knows the story of Monkey (inspired by the Hindu Monkey God Hanuman) and Tripitaka, based on myth/legend and a famous 16th century book by a Chinese author,
Journey to the West, surprisingly the series is pretty accurate to the chapters/episodes in the book.
Do I know way too much about
Monkey? Yes, I do.
Here's the cast with recent photos - left to right Tripitaka (RIP), Monkey, Pigsy 1 (RIP), Sandy, Pigsy 2, Horse/Dragon.
