Stephen Chow Biography

Stephen Chow (also Stephen Chaiu) is a highly popular Hong Kong actor and director, whose expertise in the field of comedy has led him to be dubbed the "The King of Comedy" by the Hong Kong entertainment media. However, his brand of comedy, which includes puns, doubles-entendres and poking fun at Chinese culture, meant that few of his films could exercise much impact in the West until his later films, Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle.
