A very powerful actor, his identity is not just that of an actor, and he actually has a very strong family background. His great-grandfather was the godson of Empress Dowager Cixi, and his aunt was the wife of Lu Xun, the founder of modern Chinese literature. Although a renowned family heritage, Benz Hui is very low-key and full of life as an actor.
He is married and has a daughter.

During his academic journey, he attended Kowloon City Lion Rock Road Ying Yuk School and later Kowloon Tong Sacred Heart English School. Following this, the Education Department transferred him to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children Jockey Club Happy School (Primary 3 to Primary 6). Subsequently, he continued his education at Shun Yan School and Lingnan Middle School after completing Form 3. Post-Form 3 graduation, he explored various occupations such as an office assistant, flower shop deliveryman, auto repair shop apprentice, and construction worker until he ventured into the entertainment industry in 1982 through a television actor training class.
In 1982, he formally joined the inaugural batch of the Asia Television Actor Training Class and simultaneously signed a 4-year contract with Asia Television (ATV).
He pursued further education at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, majoring in Drama, and emerged as the academy's first graduate in 1985. While still a student, TVB extended an invitation, leading to his enrollment in the television station under a management contract in 1986.
In 2013, he co-founded the Shen Theatre and successfully secured a seat on the Drama Group Committee of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council in the same year.
Making a return to TVB in May 2014, Anthony Wong continued to make significant contributions to the entertainment industry.

He is regarded as one of the best actors working in HK today and, along with Anthony Wong and Lau Ching-Wan, was named one of the “Three Great Characters” at the 25th HK International Film Festival. In addition, the extreme aspects of his persona—ranging from quiet and serious to quirky or maniacal—both on and offscreen have earned him the nickname of “mental”. Given his accomplishments, it may be surprising for some to learn that Ng was once camera-shy and failed TVB’s Artist Training program not once, not twice, but a total of three times! Ng eventually graduated in 1985, but it would be over a decade before his potential as an actor was realized and his talent appreciated. During that time Ng worked his way up from being “Imperial Guard #2” to getting pivotal roles in many popular TV serials. However, his unconventional looks meant that he did not fit the traditional leading man mold. As was the case for many talented actors, the small world of television could not hold a fish that was growing as large and discontent as Ng. He had dabbled with movies early on in his career, and was nominated for a HK Film Best Supporting Actor Award for Handsome Siblings (1992), but Ng’s banning from the station due to his open criticisms of them is likely the key factor that pushed him completely to the world of film. The turning point in his career came with the villainous role of Ugly Kwan in Young and Dangerous (1996), in which Ng stole the show by simultaneously chewing and spitting out scenery. The character was so popular that it spawned an unofficial spin-off, Once Upon a Time in a Triad Society (1996), and Ng has reprised the role in official Y&D spin-offs and even completely unrelated films, like Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars (1996). In addition to gaining the appreciation of movie audiences, Ng began to be recognized critically as well, especially by the HK Film Critics Society, who have awarded him Best Actor three times, for Once Upon a Time in a Triad Society (1996), Bullets Over Summer (1999) and 2000 A.D. (2000). Ng’s small but impressive role in 2000 A.D., as a character many years older than himself, also won him the HK Film Best Supporting Actor Award. Pegged as the “dark horse” prior to awards night, his status as a first rate actor was solidified when he garnered the prestigious Golden Horse Best Actor Award for his work in The Mission (1999). His powerfully understated performance in Infernal Affairs II (2003) is expected to bring him further nominations and accolades. Ng has also ventured into the arenas of theatre and directing, with varying results. He has directed two films to date, What is a Good Teacher (2000) and 9413 (1998). The latter received some good reviews but both were box office flops. Despite this, Ng’s passion for directing is still burning hot and he recently accepted an offer to direct a commercial. Ng has had much more success with his stage work. In 1994-95 he starred in the play “Naughty Couple” with his ex-girlfriend Anita Lee. It ran for 70 shows, breaking records for number of shows and admissions, and was even adapted into a movie of the same name. Ng struck gold when he teamed up with colleagues and pals Dayo Wong and Cheung Tat-Ming to star in the wildly popular stand-up comedy and satirical production, “Free Man Show” (1998), and its follow up “Free Man Show 2” (2000). Ng recently returned to his roots (proving that nobody can stay enemies with TVB forever) to play an airline pilot in the well-received TVB series, “Triumph in the Skies”.

As a child, Cheung idolized kung-fu legend Bruce Lee but never seriously considered a career in acting.
Starting out as a model, Cheung turned to acting when director Yeung Fan cast him in his 1986 film Lost Romance and the first of his many roles portraying a villain followed in the acclaimed director Ringo Lam's 1987 City on Fire.
In 1996, Cheung appeared in the 3rd, 4th and 6th installments of the "Young and Dangerous" series, roles that heralded the beginning of a long working relationship with director/cinematographer Andrew Lau.

Popular in his native Hong Kong, To has also found acclaim overseas. Intensely prolific, To has made films in a variety of genres, though he is best known for his action and crime movies, which have earned him critical respect and a cult following (which includes Quentin Tarantino.)
His films, often made in collaboration with the same group of actors, screenwriters and cinematographers, frequently explore themes of friendship, fate and the changing face of Hong Kong society. Sometimes described as "multifaceted and chameleonic" due to his ability to switch tones and genres between movies, To is nonetheless seen as having a consistent style, which involves mixing subdued realism and social observation with highly stylised visual and acting elements.
He is best known for Sparrow (2008), Election (2005), Election 2:Triad Election (2006), Exiled (2006), Mad Detective (2007), Breaking News (2004), PTU (2003), Fulltime Killer (2001), Heroic Trio (1993), All About Ah-Long (1989) and The Mission (1999), considered by some to be To's masterpiece and one of Hong Kong's finest examples of a crime film to have come along, at that time.
To heads the Hong Kong-based production company Milkyway Image with his frequent co-director Wai Ka-Fai.
