Mark Cheng Ho-nam (born 6 October 1964) is a Hong Kong actor. He is known for his role as "Lam Wing" in the 1996 film Tai Chi Boxer and FuXi in My Date with a Vampire III. He is shown naked in the 1993 Hong Kong film Raped by an Angel, as he walks around a room, with his genitals briefly shown on screen.[3]

Film career

Cheng started his career in 1983. Cinema City attempted to make Cheng a leading man in the mid-1980s. These lead roles never made him a star. By the 1990s, he was often cast in Category III films and low budget girls with guns films.

Cheng also practised martial arts and performed stunts in some of the films he acted in.[4]

Cheng made his Hollywood debut in the 2007 film War which stars Jet Li.[5]

Personal life

In the 1980s, Cheng dated Hong Kong actress Ann Bridgewater. In 1991, Cheng was married to Japanese actress Yukari Oshima but they divorced four years later.

Cheng had since settled down in Malaysia since 1999 with his Malaysian wife Ailyn Pow whom he met during a shoot, they have a daughter named Jada.[6]
