Peter Kwong, who starred in the cult classic “Big Trouble in Little China,” died Tuesday night.

Variety, citing the actor’s representatives, reports he died in his sleep. He was 73. No other details were given.

“He had a wonderful life and career,” Kwong’s longtime friend Peter R.J. Deyell told Deadline. “I watched him fight for the things he believed in, and I championed him for that. At the TV Academy, we were both very active and sometimes joked about being in the Pin Club as we always wore our pins. He was always a gentleman and willing to help.”

Kwong played Rain, one of the three martial arts warlocks, in the John Carpenter’s 1986 cult classic.

The actor had stints in the 1970s and 1980s on TV shows like “The A-Team,” “Wonder Woman,” “Little House on the Prairie,” “Miami Vice,” “The Greatest American Hero,” “Cagney & Lacey” and “Dynasty.”

But it was “Big Trouble in Little China” that was his calling card. Starring alongside Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall, the film became a cult classic.

He starred in other movies like Eddie Murphy’s “The Golden Child.”
