Anthony Chan Yau
In a business that burns through people quickly, Anthony Chan Yau is a long-distance runner who has kept working through several turns of the industry. He appears in 'Project A Part II' too. He started at 23. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. 'Twin Dragons' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Hotel Concierge.
