Jordan Chan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jordan Chan Siu Chun (Traditional Chinese: 陳小春, Simplified Chinese: 陈小春) is one of Hong Kong's popular singer and actor. He was born in Hong Kong on July 8, 1967. Chan's screen debut is in 1994.
Chan got his start by enrolling in the TVB Dancers' Training Class in 1985. Soon after graduation, he joined a few of the studio's troupes that would accompany popular singers during their live performances. He worked with artists such as Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, and Anita Mui before being invited by a producer to make a record of his own.
In 1994, he made his film debut with Twenty Something. Chan has since received several Hong Kong Film Award nominations; two for his role in He's a Woman, She's a Man (1994), and one each for Heaven Can't Wait (1995) and Big Bullet (1996). With 1996's Young and Dangerous, Chan established himself as a mainstay of the triad genre. The film was a huge success, and still sprouts sequels and spinoffs to this day, including Those Were the Days (2000 film) (2000), which focused on Chan's character. Chan starred as Kyouichi Sudo in Initial D.
He has also brought hip hop flavor to Hong Kong. With his recent releases beginning around 2002, he has rapped and added hip hop beats to his music. His hip hop/r&b style has brought him new fans although Hong Kong fans have accused him of acting "black." He continues to incorporate r&b and hip hop sounds into his music today.
