Alex Man

(Man Chi Leung, Wan Ziliang, Man Tze Leung)

Actor, Entrepeneur

One of Hong Kong's most intriguing actors, Golden Horse Award winner Alex Man

was prominent in 1980's TVB dramas. He made his big screen debut in Ann Hui's

The Secret (1979), and had early roles in period martial arts productions and erotic

New Wave films. As his career progressed he became skilled at playing extremely

vicious villains in the gangster and crime genre. A man who once vomited on co-star

Stephen Chow during the taping of a TV series, Alex's deep immersion into his

roles has provoked speculation that he is indeed crazy.

Alex Man married actress Tien Niu in 1989 after starring together in TVB's The

Justice of Life (their wedding ceremony was broadcast live on television by TVB). He

and Tien Niu split up in 1996, and in 2001 he wed a young airline hostess he met on

a flight. By the mid 90's Alex had essentially retired to focus on his Mainland clothing

business, a fashion line using his English name with specialty retail outlets in parts

of China. Now residing in Singapore, he continues to expand his clothing line to other

markets while acting in Singaporean TV dramas and telefilms.

Alex also pursues other business interests in the Mainland, and his face is

prominently featured on bottles of a Chinese brand of mineral water.

Though Alex has been away from the HK entertainment scene in recent years, he

has accepted a few roles from some of his industry friends. Longtime admirer

Stephen Chow invited Alex to be in his film The King of Comedy (1998), but due to

schedule conflicts he wasn't able to appear. However, Alex did emerge as a recurring

character in two Young and Dangerous films and the series spin-off

Born to Be King (2000).
