Mini-bio: Anthony Wong Chau-Sang is a Hong Kong actor.

Anthony Wong Chau-Sang was born to an English father and a Chinese mother. His father left his family when he was only four years old, prompting Wong...( read more) to use his mother's surname. He began his acting career when he joined ATV's training programme and enrolled into the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts.

Wong has been a veteran of Hong Kong films for nearly 20 years. Wong is a talented and versatile actor who has played a variety of roles, yet it is his antagonistic roles which many fans in the West will remember him best. With hits such as Hard Boiled, The Heroic Trio and its sequel, as well as his Golden Horse-winning performance in the horrific The Untold Story (in which he played a real-life serial killer who made pork buns out of his victims) Anthony shot to stardom.

In 1994, he made another breakthrough performance in the action drama Rock n' Roll Cop. He also appeared in two of the Young and Dangerous films as Dai Fei, a friend to Ekin Cheng's Ho Nam. In 1995, Wong made his directorial debut in The New Tenant. With more than a hundred films in his credit, Wong surprisingly has not had a chance to display his martial arts skills. Wong continued his success in supporting roles in films like Infernal Affairs (2002) and The Medallion (2003). Wong reprised his Hong Kong Film Award winning role of Superintendent Wong in the prequel Infernal Affairs 2 (2003). Aside from acting, Wong is also the lead singer of a local Hong Kong punk rock band.

In a 2005 interview, Wong stated that amongst his prolific output in the 80's and 90's, a considerable amount were poor and exploitative movies such as Raped by an Angel 4: The Raper's Union which he himself does not particularly hold in high esteem . He has no regrets, however, because he needed the money to support his wife, two sons and his mother.
