Kenneth
Tsang
(Tsang Kong, Zeng Jiang, Tsang Gong, Ken Tsang)
Actor
Languages: Chinese, English
The stern and authoritative presence of Kenneth Tsang Kong is known collectively by
Asian TV audiences, movie goers and Hong Kong film enthusiasts worldwide. His roles in
John Woo's watershed films, Tsui Hark's Peking Opera Blues, and scores of villain
parts have embedded a particular image in the public consciousness- obliterating the
bygone days of Tsang's early career when he often played the romantic lead.
Kenneth Tsang is an actor who has done it all. He once headlined Hong Kong dramas
and romance films in the 1960's. In the 1970's, he acted in comedies for Goldig Films.
In the early 1980's, he bared his naked butt in the adult film Wild Cherry. As an actor
for TVB, he played in many of the famous television series in Hong Kong. In movies, he
has acted with most of the major Hong Kong stars. By the 1990's, Tsang became one of
the most familiar faces in HK movies with his frequent roles as police captains, bad guys
and other characters wielding power and influence. In 1993, he played the main villain
opposite Jackie Chan in Police Story III: Supercop. Tsang is also fluent in English,
a skill he has relied upon for his overseas work outside of Hong Kong.
Kenneth Tsang has recently signed with an American agent for his employment in Hollywood,
which includes work in Anna and the King, Rush Hour 2, The Replacement Killers
and the James Bond film Die Another Day, in which he plays a Korean general.
