Biography

Yeung was born on 11 September 1982 in Hong Kong. He became interested in acting after watching Liu Wai-hung's performances on television when he was in secondary school. He went to Caritas Institute of Community Education to study acting for a year, before attending Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in performing arts. After graduating in 2007, he joined the Chung Ying Theatre Company [zh] and performed in numerous stage plays. He had won a Hong Kong Drama Award and a Hong Kong Theatre Libre [zh] for his performances. He also formed a band called Juicyning [zh], with his APA classmates Michael Ning, Chu Pak Hong and Chu Pak Him [zh].

In 2014, Yeung was invited by his APA classmate Wong Cho-lam to have a cameo in TVB drama series Come On, Cousin. He enjoyed the experience and began to look for on-screen opportunities. Yeung landed his first major television role in the 2017 miniseries Midnight Cousin [zh] along with his bandmates. He had his first solo major acting role in 2021 ViuTV drama series Ossan's Love, starring alongside Kenny Wong, Edan Lui and Anson Lo. Yeung also appeared in several feature films, including 2021 biographical film Zero to Hero, and 2022 drama series I SWIM [zh].

Yeung received his breakthrough role in 2022, portraying a psychopathic murderer loosely based on real-life person Henry Chau in Ho Cheuk Tin's [zh] legal thriller The Sparring Partner. Yeung's performance received widespread acclaim from both the critics and the audience, and he was nominated for Best Actor in the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards. In 2023, Yeung also appeared in Ho Cheuk Tin's black comedy film Over My Dead Body in a lead role.
