Biography

Anthony Chan Yau is a multifaceted Hong Kong actor and musician, renowned for his versatility and creative pursuits. As the drummer for the renowned band Wynners, he has showcased his artistic talents beyond the realm of acting.

In 1981, Chan embarked on a new venture, co-founding a film production company with the talented Kenny Bee. Their inaugural project, Monkey Business, marked a significant milestone in Chan's career. The following year, he joined Shaw Brothers and produced his magnum opus, Let's Make Laugh, a remarkable project directed by the acclaimed Alfred Cheung.

This collaboration led to the formation of a new production company, spearheaded by Cheung and Chan. The duo's subsequent projects would go on to make a lasting impact on the Hong Kong film industry.

One of Chan's most ambitious and notable projects was A Fishy Story, a star-studded production featuring the talents of Kenny Bee and Maggie Cheung Man-yuk. The film's success was capped off by Maggie Cheung Man-yuk's well-deserved win at the Hong Kong Film Awards, where she took home the award for Best Actress.

In recent years, Chan made the decision to emigrate to the United States, marking the end of his illustrious career in the film industry. However, he has since found a new calling in China, where he is currently engaged in various business pursuits.
