He does a good in all his movies i like his work in Infernal Affairs.
i think his a lil underrated he should get more recognition.

[WinSpecToR]

Yeah this guy is great, if hes in a movie that sucks I'd still watch it just to see his performance. But then again he wouldn't be in any crappy movies.

Man he's done alot of films

[pauly]

saw something about him and his fashion style in that entertainment news show on Fairchild TV...anyway, i heard on another thread that he will be playing Bunta in the Initial D live action series...i think he could be funny in there...

[forever_autumn]

Anthony Wong Chau Sun yesterday worked on SAU SUN (TRIMMING) and talked about KUNG FU HUSTLE (GONG FU). "Film has a market, depending on whether you are talented or not. If you don't have any talent then stop screaming all day about the poor market and trying to put the blame somewhere else. I thought you are talking about KUNG FU SOCCER's success. This series has made me puke. It's long and boring, full of garbage and no content. The 40 episodes should be shrunk down to two. The two episodes should make a lot of money on VCD sales." As for the Metro Radio and Radio Hong Kong's war of words over singers, he said, "The entire music scene only have ten singers? Blaming others for not being able to get anyone, I can say that Lee Ka Shing has made all the money. (Andy) Hui Chi On and (Deanie) Ip Tak Han's song becomes a solo song? Did Ip Tak Han cross On Jai?"

Hey.. I saw him when I was touring taiwan last year. Met him at the airport. He is quite tall and not as fat as he is in movies.. He does look fierce though. Dont dare to approve him... '

[bakzhang]

lol..yea..i think just becuase he acted in those killing and "pin thai"series....many people think the real person is also like that...it really affects...he is quite a good actor, but he is not handsome at all..=p

lol..yea..i think just becuase he acted in those killing and "pin thai"series....many people think the real person is also like that...it really affects...he is quite a good actor, but he is not handsome at all..=p

Actually he was very handsome when he was young, now he is getting old, but he is a very good actor in HK

[lorelei]

i've not seen too many of his films, but what i have seen he is an amazing actor really versatile, i thought he was really funny in twins effect!

[rabbitinpumpkin]

He's a great actor. While I'm not a huge fan when he does comedy I like it when he does more serious roles. Example Johnnie To's "The Mission"

He's NOT a good looking actor, but that does not mean he's a bad actor.
You'd have to be pretty shallow to say he's a bad actor because he's ugly.

Who also thinks that this guy must receive an achievement award for his outstanding performances in every movies?

This dude can play any kind of roles and is definitely my favorite all-time actor!


What else can be said bout this allrounder?

Look at his cv
http://www.mov6.com/name/nm0938893/

[Kaney]

oh gosh. he is really very very good. i saw him somewhere in hk some time back. he isn't as fierce as he looks, u know. he is very simple and not arrogant. he smiles at ppl when they smile at him..i assume that can prove that he is an ok guy. frankly his acting is really wonderful. don't think u can find another better actor around at the moment..

[Gen_X]

Yeh this guy must be one of HK top actors, he can act as anything..he is great

[deepfan]

yup i know he is a fantastic actor but did he start off as a singer cos i remmeber seeing him win an award for best newcomer in an award ceremony before..not sure when..1995? or did he start off acting first and also did some singing? is his singing good?

His name sounds familiar, could you mention a serie/movie he's starred in?
Thanks in advance

Internal Affair I - acting as a cop who was being thrown out of the window of a tall building.

He does a good in all his movies i like his work in Infernal Affairs.
i think his a lil underrated he should get more recognition.

But I read a lot of adverse comments about him, i.e. bad temper

[lkwan]

I have seen a lot of his movies. I think he is a very special actor. He can just act any role.I prefer to see him fatter as he has loss his weight now.

[AznMangix]

I think Anthoy Wong is a great actor, can play any character!! Hes really good in Kung Fu Soccer and intial D. I havent seen him in much series...I have 1 question. does he have an accent when he speaks english or is he fluent seeing that his dad is british.

He showed up a lil in the medallion but that didnt sound like him at all when he talked. Well hes a great HK actor...i hope to watch more of his movies tho!!if anyone knows what he is wokring on now and where to download it, plz keep me informed! thank you!

Anthony goes Hollywood

FOLLOWING in the footsteps of Asian stars Gong Li, Datuk Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun-Fat and Jackie Chan, Hong Kong’s most celebrated character actor, Anthony Wong, is set to star in his debut Hollywood feature entitled The Painted Veil.

Singapore’s The Straits Times, quoting the International Herald Tribune, says that Wong, 44, will play a key character in the story as a Chinese soldier.

The period drama starring Edward Norton and Naomi Watts is based on W. Somerset Maugham’s novel of the same name and will be shot in China.

In his typically direct manner, Wong described how the American deal came about. “They came to me. I read the script, and it’s very easy. I asked: ‘Why me?’”

When he was told that they needed “a great actor”, the actor replied: “Okay, lah.”

In an interview with the IHT, he says he has been in some 280 movies and that the bulk of the work, except for about 50 titles, is “crap”.

He says he took on these movies to pay rent and support his wife, two sons and his mother, who raised him after his British father abandoned them when he was four.

“I’m a survivor. I did a lot of crap movies. It’s like I battled in the jungle and still I survived.”

i think he is a great actor, i love his movies and i think he is very talented. He is very convincing as a actor.

[Erynnectt]

Love all the movies he acted in. I just find his effortless way of acting is really something a lot of actors still fail to catch. In fact, many movies in my opinion increase in quality due to him. However, he sure has lots of news on commenting other actors!

Anthony Wong's Suprise Bday Party!

Last Friday while advertising Initial D in Japan, Anthony Wong celebrated his 44th birthday. His two godsons, Jay Chow, Edison Chen and friend, Shawn Yue held a surprise birthday party.

At the party, true reports say that Jay and Edison were singing happy birthday very loudly while pushing out a cake on a trolley. After accepting Edison and Shawn’s present, Jay gave his godfather a present, which is worth 200 000 yen. Edison said that he will be giving Anthony another present once they get back to Hong Kong. Shawn’s present was a sapphire ring. Anthony says, “After having my house robbed, this is my favourite ring!”

Wong Chau Sun is a great actor, he can play a real mean and bad buy for sure, he was really good in Infernal Affairs, I was shock when he died and how he was thrown down from the top of the building.

[societ]

His acting is superior, as a cop most of the time he really brings out the whole justice feeling which most expect from a good cop. His acting shows the most when he is trying to lead to something like his face shows no emotion but his words have other meanings to it?

[× d0ggiel0ver]

ooh now i can remeber who he is! his name alreadii sounded so familiar... but he did a pretty god job in infernal affairs! but it looked so sad when he like dropped on the car from the building.. it shocked me actually ..

but he looks funny when he plays as a cop

[aimzers]

anthony wong is so talented. wish he was in more series or movies...he does a great job when he has to portray good and bad parts..i'd rather him do comedy tho...he just looks too unhappy when he plays gangsters or someone who's trying to be cool

Ever since the hit TVB series "Triumph in the Skies" raised popularity for the cast and receiving good receptions and reviews, it seems that TVB is filming a sequel early next year, but with a change in the casting. It is a pity that Francis Ng will not be taking part in the sequel, due to not compromising an agreement. Earlier, veteran actress Liza Wang confirmed that she will participate in the sequel, in which outdoor filming will also take place in Moscow and England. In addition, the S4 members Ron Ng, Bosco Wong, Sammul Chan, and Kenneth Ma will be filming the sequel. As for Alex Fong Chung Sun who earlier confirmed to film this series, turned down the role due to his schedule conflict.

With much arrangements and casting, the producer and executives contacted actor Anthony Wong will be taking on the leading role in "Triumph in the Skies II," thus the sequel will have new roles added in. The sequel is expected to have forty episodes, in which fifteen episodes are filming outdoors in Moscow and England. It seems to be a conflict with Anthony's schedule as he would be filming another movie. Anthony says that he cannot film this series due to schedule conflict, but he will be looking forward to film a series sometime in the future. Thus, no actor is confirmed for the leading role yet, while Anthony is still in consideration.
