Cheung Ying Choi was one of the biggest Cantonese movie superstars of Hong Kong cinema in the 1960s. He was at the peak of his popularity from 1962 till 1965. He was born in 1934 and appeared in his first movie in 1953. He made a total of over 300 Cantonese black & white feature films - many were box-office classics. Only a handful of his movies are in color. Then due to the huge popularity of Mandarin films - he made only a handful of films in 1967 to 1969--after that Cantonese films died and he went on to TVB to work as a dubbing actor and later on starred in some Cantonese serials (The Semi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Cheng Sing Gong, Glittering Fortune). Today, he can still be seen in acting bits in various TV serials. In recent years, he also made some guest appearances in some cinema movies – Lost and Found, Love Undercover 2. Sadly, today he is a forgotten and neglected actor-- the Hong Kong Cinema Industries has NEVER honored him. But his popularity with the older folks can still be seen in his old movies still being available and selling well on VCDs & DVDs. Many of the old classics are still being shown on re-runs of late-night TV programs..
