Timeline

1967

Ekin Cheng Yee Kin (born October 4, 1967) is a Hong Kong actor and singer.

Early in his career, he used the name Dior as a first name (because that was what it sounded like when his younger sister tried to call him Second Brother (二哥)).

He has also been referred to his stage name Noodle (伊麵), after a popular noodle dish with a similar name and his wavy long hair.

Currently Ekin is the name used.

Cheng began acting in commercials when he was in high school, the most well-known being for Hi-C Lemon Tea.

After high school, he enrolled in TVB's Martial Arts school, but did not like it and switched to their acting school.

After that he began to get a number of TV roles.

The latest TVB series he participated in was Always Ready, working with Charmaine Sheh, Bowie Lam and Linda Chung.

1992

His first film was Girls Without Tomorrow 1992 (1992) and at the time he was still called by the name Dior Cheng.

He changed his name to "Ekin" before his break-out role in the Young and Dangerous series as Chan Ho-nam.

The film was first meant to glorify the triad life, but after about the third film, the story focused more on the characters and explored the truth about the Hong Kong triads.

It became so popular that it launched Cheng and co-star Jordan Chan to superstar status.

And because of its incredible success, it is said to have made many youngsters at that time fond of the triad life, thus making teens throughout Asia join the triads.

It also started a trend for triad films around that time and is considered to be a classic.

The film led to six sequels, all starring Cheng, and a lucrative working partnership with director Andrew Lau.

Together they went on to make The Storm Riders, which was the highest-grossing Hong Kong movie at the time and the first film to use a truly large number of special effects.

They also worked together on The Legend of Speed, a film about a street racer who would follow his father's footsteps of becoming a racing god, A Man Called Hero a movie adaption of the famous comic, about a martial arts master in America The Duel starring Cheng, Andy Lau, and a few other famous stars, and the comedy Women From Mars.

Cheng has branched out in the roles he has taken, including more comedy like earlier in his career with My Wife is 18 with Charlene Choi and Six Strong Guys with singers Hacken Lee, Andy Hui and George Lam.

But he still does action-oriented films like The Twins Effect where he acts with rising pop superstars Twins and Tokyo Raiders where he is cast with Tony Leung and Kelly Chen.

My Wife is 18 tells the story of an arranged marriage between 30-year-old Cheng and 18-year-old Charlene Choi.

The significant age difference between the two is the source of the comedy.

Six strong guys tells the story of Cheng and his other five friends who tell funny stories of the modern Hong Kong man.

The Twins Effect is an action film about the feuds between vampires and humans who share the same world.

Tokyo Raiders is about international thievery in Tokyo.

He also play as Ming in the legend of zu mountain the movie.

But in the 2000s, he signed with EEG, a juggernaut company owned by Albert Yeung.
