Biography

Lee graduated from TVB's Artist Training Academy in 1982 and was from the same batch as Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and Francis Ng. He started acting in Hong Kong films in the 1980s and became famous for his role as the antagonist Tam Shing in John Woo's 1986 film A Better Tomorrow. Since then Lee has made appearances in several films, including A Chinese Ghost Story II (1990), To Be Number One (1991), Powerful Four (1992). He also played the leading roles in The Big Heat (1988), Bullet in the Head (1990) and The Cat.

Lee is best known on television for his roles in television series produced by TVB, such as Mind Our Own Business (1993), Cold Blood Warm Heart (1996), Burning Flame (1998) and A Step into the Past (2001).

He has also been more active in working on mainland Chinese television series since the late 2000s.
