Ku is historically significant as a pioneering figure best described as Hong Kong's Lee Strasberg where he help found and led the Island colony's Southern Drama Group in 1961, his equivalent to New York's famed Actor's Studio for aspiring young Chinese thespians of his era. He was a hands-on instructor as well as dynamic figurehead with a bilingual curriculum that serves both a Cantonese and Mandarin dialect training division.
