After graduating from secondary school in 1972, he worked as a studio assistant at Shaw Brothers film studios and later as a photography assistant at Radio Television Hong Kong. He applied twice to the TVB Artiste Training Academy before being accepted as a student in the eighth cohort in 1979, where his future wife Chen Min-er was also a classmate. He was known for his roles in crime and police dramas, appearing in over 60 television series. He hosted various television programmes including the long-running variety show "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" and "City Focus". He served as a full-time lecturer at the Hong Kong Baptist University Academy of Film until his death in March 2021.
