Roy Cheung 
(Cheung Yiu Yeung, Zhang Yao Yang)
Actor
Born: July 20, 1963- Hong Kong Height: 6" Hobbies: Swimming, working out
Roy Cheung has excelled at playing gangsters and bad guys for over 15 years.
Just as Danny Lee favors playing a cop, Roy Cheung is equally at home in the interminable
Hong Kong triad genre; insuring that as long as this convincing, muscular actor chooses
to act, he will always have a job.
Roy Cheung comes from a big family. He has 3 older brothers, one younger brother, and
an older sister. His movies, however, are not family entertainment (unless the family are
mafiosa). Out of over 65 films in his resume, almost all of his roles are as bad boys-
ruthless triads, assassins, prison wardens, and other assorted scoundrels. He rose to
prominence in Ringo Lam's famous "On Fire" cycle of films (City on Fire, Prison on Fire
and School on Fire), and Lam's Wild Seach. Roy takes his craft seriously, imbuing his
roles with authenticity, power and genuine scariness.
In The Stormriders (1998), Roy Cheung played a Buddhist monk for a change.
An ass-kicking monk, but a monk nonetheless.
