Cheng Taishen
Actor
55 years (Jun 12, 1971)Lüliang, Shanxi Province, China
In a business that burns through people quickly, Cheng Taishen is a long-distance runner with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. The filmography leans toward drama. Very few actors keep finding work for 25 years. In cinemas, 'Biutiful' is the work that stuck — Hai, specifically. 'Drug War' is another title that gets mentioned. He started at 30.
