                                                                                                            (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.
