As Tears Go By and Days of Being Wild. Alex Fong One of the more interesting new actors in HK these days is Alex Fong. New though only in the sense that over the past couple of years he is finally starting to be appreciated and recognized for his work. His acting career actually stretches back to the late 80 s when he appeared in a number of girls with guns films the first two Angels films being the most renown. After this he spent a few years in the purgatory of Cat III films with such films as Pretty Woman and Escape from Brothel but then finally he started coming into his own.
Some actors simply gain a gravity and presence as they mature.
Their face takes on character and they begin to look at ease with themselves. I think Fong is going through this same process and though he has not really had the opportunities yet to show what he has he has shown definite charisma in top productions as Lifeline, Storm Riders, Downtown Torpedoes, was terrific as Sandra Ng s friend in Portland Street Blues , was the only thing in Cheap Killers that made me at all care about the outcome and was quite comical as the cheating playboy in Your Place or Mine. Before entering into moviemaking in 1986, he was a model. They spent a couple of years together before finally breaking apart. Sheila Chan at one time attempted suicide but was saved in the end.
