Biography |
 |
Born on the Lamma island in 1955, Chow Yun Fat has passed
His family moved to HK in 1965 and in 1973 he answered an ad for TVB actors. His tall good looks immediately got him in - but it was a long road to stardom. He appeared in numerous TV series over the years - some of them like The Bund were great successes, but the transition to film was not so easy. In the late 70's a very slim Chow can be seen in a number of low budget exploitation films. His first major film break was in the Ann Hui film The Story of Woo Viet (1981) in which he played a Vietnamese refugee.
Producers thought he didn't have the stuff to be a leading man and it seemed possible that his career was headed for a decline. Then in 1986 a nearly washed up director (John Woo) cast a former star whose best days were considered to be behind him (Ti Lung), an actor better known for his singing (Leslie Cheung) and Chow Yun Fat. It was a remake of a 60's film and no one had great expectations for it. A Better Tomorrow was of course a huge hit, created bullet ballet, made a success of Woo, resuscitated Ti Lung's career, got Leslie started on his way towards being a film star - and of course began the legend of Chow Yun Fat. His collaboration with Woo over the next few years produced other classics and made Chow the biggest actor not only in HK but also made him into an international star.
