Biography - Born 05/18/1955

After a brief hiatus from filmmaking, Chow returned the following year to resume his film career. His next three features � made expressly for the Asian market that begat him � were the 2004 indie hit "Du zi deng dai" (English title: "Waiting Alone"), the delightful romantic comedy "Yi ma de hou xian dai sheng huo" (2006) (a.k.a. "The Postmodern Life of My Aunt"), and the Academy-Award nominated historical drama, "Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia," (a.k.a. "Curse of the Golden Flower" (2006). In 2007, Chow made a triumphant return to American screens in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End," the second sequel to the swashbuckling 2003 original. Cast as Sao Feng, the Pirate Lord of Singapore, Chow made the most of his scene-chewing opportunity. Particularly charming in his scenes opposite Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow, Chow's presence would lend a flair of international gravitas to the proceedings.
