Description:
Ti Lung is a Hong Kong actor known for his numerous starring roles in a string of Shaw Brothers Studio's films, particularly The Sentimental Swordsman and its sequel, and in the classic A Better Tomorrow. He studied Wing Chun under the martial arts master Jiu Wan. In 1968, Ti Lung responded to an advertisement placed by the Shaw Brothers and applied at Shaw Acting Course, and upon completion, was awarded a minor role in Chang Cheh's "Return of the One-Armed Swordsman" starring Jimmy Wang Yu. Chang Cheh immediately recognized his potential and offered him the lead in his next production, "Dead End" opposite Golden Chen Hung-Lieh, a role which would launch his career as one of the best-known faces in classic Wuxia film. He became a common face associated with David Chiang, Alexander Fu Sheng, Ku Feng, Chen Kuan Tai, the Venom Mob, and other Shaw Bros. stars at the time, often cast as a dashing, noble hero as well as a capable martial artist. Although he left Shaw Brothers Studios in the 1980s, Ti Lung's career took a turn for the worse until 1986, when John Woo's "A Better Tomorrow" cast him opposite Chow Yun Fat in the role of a Triad member. The movie was a box office success and placed Ti Lung back in the public consciousness, although it changed his image from the handsome martial youth to the tortured, would-be hero gangster. After that role, Ti Lung's next most recognisable appearance would be with Jackie Chan in "Drunken Master II", in which he co-starred as Wong Kei Ying, father of Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung. He also worked with Andy Lau in "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon" as the legendary Guan Yu. From there, he has continued to work in television in a variety of roles. He is the uncle of Jerry Lamb and Jan Lamb. Watch drama online for free.
