James Allenby-Kirk or simply James Kirk (born 1988) is a Scottish actor, comedian and writer. He is perhaps best known for his roles as Jeff the Chef in the comedy Gary: Tank Commander and as Stosh in the drama series 24: Live Another Day.

Career

Born in Paisley, just outside Glasgow, he was educated at Williamsburgh Primary and Paisley Grammar School. He later attended Langside College, studying acting and performance. Kirk made his breakthrough into the comedy circuit by winning the “So You Think You’re Funny?” competition in 2010. His first television appearance came in 2010, when he played Malky in Rab C. Nesbitt. He also appeared in Channel 4’s “Comedy Blaps” series, in which he wrote and starred in the short online sketches “Kronicles of Kirk.” However, it was in Greg McHugh’s BAFTA award winning sitcom Gary: Tank Commander, in which he played Jeff the Chef, that he was brought to the attention of a wider audience.

Following appearances in television shows such as Bob Servant Independent and the TV film “Two Doors Down”, he starred in two comedies for BBC Scotland. The first, entitled “Scot Squad” came as a result of a successful pilot episode in late 2012. The first series of the show aired in late 2014. Kirk also worked on the comedy “How Do I Get Up There?” alongside his co-stars Chris Forbes and Kevin Mains, which was shown in Scotland during November 2014.

Chang Yung-fa’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Chang Yung Fa Net Worth: Chang Yung Fa was a Taiwanese businessman who has a net worth of $1.5 billion. Chang Yung Fa accumulated his wealth as the founder and chairman of the now publicly listed Evergreen Group, which is a Taiwan-based conglomerate of shipping, transportation, and associated service companies. Born in 1927, in Penghu, Taiwan (while it was under Japanese rule), he started his professional career right after he finished high school at the age of 18. At first, he worked in a Taipei office of a Japanese shipping line. Then, in the post-World War II period, Chang became third officer at a local shipping company, and progressed through the ranks to a captain. It was in 1961 that Mr. Yung Fa united with some friends to found a shipping company, which developed successfully thanks to Chang’s experience in the business. After a while, he decided to branch out on his own with the establishment of Evergreen Marine Corporation on September 1, 1968. Ever since, the Evergreen Group has evolved and expanded beyond the shipping industry with operations in heavy industrial development, air transport, hotels and resorts services. With the growth of the company, Chang Yung Fa’s fortune swelled as well until 2012, when he saw some fall due to global losses in the shipping industry. In addition to the above, he managed Taiwan carrier EVA Air and Evergreen International Storage and Transport. A great philanthropist as he is, Chang Yung Fa gave $10 million to earthquake victims in China in 2013. Chang Yung Fa passed away on January 20, 2016 at 88 years old.
