Michael Wong

Biography

Michael Wong is a Chinese-American actor who moved to Hong Kong after high school to try acting, despite having no Cantonese and no martial arts background. Raised in Troy, New York, he started as a stunt double, made his debut in City Hero in 1985 and won his first major role in Legacy of Rage (1986) opposite Brandon Lee. Royal Warriors (1986) fixed his early image as a tough outsider, and he made his English-language debut in The Vineyard (1989). Final Option turned him into a star in Chinese cinema, and its prequel brought him Hong Kong Film Award and Golden Horse nominations. Beast Cops (1998), a Best Film winner at the Hong Kong Film Awards, is his best-known film. Later supporting work includes Cold War (2012), Skiptrace (2016) and Triple Threat (2019). He directed and starred in Miles Apart, and has released music in Thailand and an EP in 2015.
