[edit] Career

Tony has been in the film industry for more than 25 years, with a variety of roles under his belt. His first film was in 1983's The Burning of Imperial Palace, where he played the Emperor Xianfeng. He would later work with Chow Yun-Fat in three films, Prison on Fire in 1987, A Better Tomorrow 3 in 1989, and God of Gamblers' Return in 1994. He also appeared as Joyce Godenzi's husband in She Shoots Straight, Joyce's trademark film. In 1991, Tony went to France to appear in Jean-Jacques Annaud's The Lover, based on Marguerite Duras's novel, as the older lover of a young teen schoolgirl, who was played by British actress Jane March. After so many performances and roles, he starred in the international horror feature Double Vision with American actor David Morse. Since then, Leung's career has skyrocketed as he continues to make movies in Hong Kong, such as The Myth (2005) and Everlasting Regret (2005).
