Biography

Kenneth Cheung Moon Yuen (Chinese: 張滿源) is a Hong Kong actor and Christian hymn lyricist. He is a cast veteran of Milkyway Image best known for his roles as Orderly in PTU (2003) and Mac in Sparrow (2008), and he earned a nomination for Best New Performer in the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards with the former role.

Biography

Cheung was born in Hong Kong in a middle-class family with an elder brother. He developed a passion for acting at a young age after winning a championship in an acting competition. He initially planned to study acting at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, but his application was rejected. Cheung then moved to the United Kingdom and attended the University of Sunderland, where he obtained a Bachelor of Engineering in electronic system engineering. Upon returning to Hong Kong after graduation, he worked for a few years. However, his interest in acting persisted, prompting him to quit his job and reapply to the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. During his university years, he received several minor roles in films and advertisements, including a governmental Anti-drink Driving Campaign advertisement in 2002, which later became an internet meme. In the same year, he landed a minor role in Johnnie To's romantic comedy film My Left Eye Sees Ghosts. To was impressed by his performance and invited him to join his next project, the 2003 action thriller film PTU. Cheung portrayed an orderly officer to Simon Yam's character and was nominated for Best New Performer in the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards. After graduating from HKAPA with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2004, Cheung began starring in various films produced by Milkyway Image over the following years, most notably in the 2008 caper film Sparrow, where he shared the screen with Simon Yam, Gordon Lam, and Law Wing-cheung as one of the four leading co-stars. Cheung also took on film technician roles due to his expertise in digital systems.

In 2018, Cheung signed with ViuTV as an actor and appeared in the 2019 horror thriller series Psycho Detective 2 [zh] as the father of Neo Yau's character. In 2020, he left ViuTV to pursue studies in Hebrew at the China Graduate School of Theology, from which he graduated with a Master of Christian Studies in 2022. Prior to his theological studies, he had also worked as a Christian hymn lyricist and preacher. After completing his studies, he returned to the film industry and took part in several television series. In 2023, Cheung secured the role of Mr. Si in the black comedy film Over My Dead Body [zh], where he delivered noteworthy performances, including several nude scenes that garnered positive acclaim from the public.
