MICHAEL'S BIO
Michael found his calling not long after being seen on TV, performing in the now-legendary Hui Brothers' Show in 1972 (alongside with his younger brother Samuel Hui) -- to make the audience laugh. His talent was shown to the fullest in his later-on series of box-office hits. Michael has since then transformed the the Hong Kong cinema industry and has taken it to new heights. Throughout his 30-year career, Michael often acts, directs and writes in many of his movies. Known as "Mr. Boo" in Japan, his performances have been combinations of wit, humour and wisdom. Today Michael's movies are being seen and re-seen by Asian and Chinese audience all over the world. Michael now lives on Hong Kong island (a home he resided for more than 30 years). He enjoys fishing, golfing and going to the movies. |
