Kent
Cheng 
(Cheng Juk Si, Cheng Jut Si)
Actor, Director, Producer, Writer
Born: May 22, 1951
Kent Cheng is a distinctive Hong Kong movie heavyweight- not only as a prolific,
award winning character actor but as a filmmaker as well. With roles in New Wave
comedies, dramas, Category III thrillers, action, crime, and martial arts films, Cheng
has remained one of the most recognizable faces on Hong Kong theatre screens
since the early 1980's. He directed his first film, Beloved Daddy, in 1984, and by
1993, started his own production company- Grand River Film Ltd., which
was a financial failure.
With all this experience under his belt, Cheng surprised the business in the late 1990's
by distancing himself from film work and focusing mostly on television. Criticizing the
Hong Kong film industry's low budgets, weak scripts and poor quality standards,
Kent Cheng scarcely appeared on the big screen for almost four years.
In 2003 Kent appeared in Happy Go Lucky, starring Gillian Chung.
