Chan Hung-Lieh (7 June 1943 – 24 November 2009), also known as Chen Hung-Lit and Golden Chan, was a Shaw Brothers actor famous for portraying villains from the 1960s to 1980s. In his acting hiatus, Chan was involved in the garment industry. He later resumed his acting career by joining TVB in 1995, left the following year and did not return again until 2003. He was the brother of Steve Chen Hao.
At 4:20 p.m. on 24 November 2009, while waiting to tape an episode of Off Pedder on TVB City, Chan Hung-lit complained of sudden chest pains and fell into a coma in the changing room. He was transported by ambulance to the emergency ward of Tseung Kwan O Hospital, where he died at 7:11 p.m. at the age of 66.
