Francis Ng Chun-yu is a curious Hong Kong cinema statistic: despite being nominated six times for best actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, the local industry’s highest honour, he has never won – despite being one of the city’s most acclaimed and versatile performers in recent decades.
His chameleonic range has seen him excel as everything from a conflicted police officer to a tender-hearted pilot to a homeless drug addict.

Born Ng Chi-keung in 1961, he had modest beginnings.
