Hong Kong's most versatile Taxi Driver




This is Franki (Ng Hing Lam). Franki has 2 jobs. Besides driving a cab, he works as a part time actor and extra in films and TV shows produced in Hong Kong and China. Franki started collecting, back in the 70's, photos of himself with celebrities he met around the set or as part of his duties as a cabbie. He now has more than 1,500 photographs which he keeps in albums inside his cab. His customers are more than welcome to browse through them and I can guarantee you that you will never feel bored being Franki's passenger because he peppers his monologue with very interesting facts about his encounters with the famous. He has been photographed with the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Jean-Claude Van Dam, Maggie Cheung, Jackie Chan and the list goes on and on...

Should you require Franki's services, he can be reached on his mobile phone: 9604-1088 or in China 136-625-83683.

p.s. he never prints his own business cards, he just crosses out the front of other's people's cards and writes his own information on the back, a most original way to recycle!
