    i've stopped visiting the actor's forum in a while, but when i saw his name appear on the spcnet.tv main page, i had to drop by. he is fabulous! great actor who portrays the roles given to him with so much depth...ah, even in the supporting roles, he is awesome...he hope he gains an award so that he can realize that the audience recognizes his talent.

    i did not get the chance to see that series...is it good?

    i liked him in...gee...i can't remember what it's called. it's been a while but the series also stars amy chan. i thought they were cute in there. john chiang is a great actor who really uses his facial expressions very well. if only tvb actors aspire to be like him!

    patricia n.. thats a cute dog <3 lol it really shares some resemblence with my dog that i used to have and I miss it

    anyways I agree with all of you John Chiang is an amazing actor! His portrayal of Cheng Wing Fat the devious shrewd Uncle was brilliant. Him in Wong Fei Hung was cool too. I've enjoyed watching this actor and I cant help but admire his professional attitude, and also his impressive acting. Good job to Marissa for getting this thread started! And wow I have no idea he casted in so many shows before..thats cool. He's up there with Paul Chun, Lau Dan as one of my all time favorite veteran actors.

    John Chiang is a fine actor. I like this guy in Wong Fei Hung, man he is really convincing as a father of Bosco. And his martial arts is not bad too. In LWOLAP at first I didn't like his character, but I felt really sad when he died. LOL I never knew that he acted in so many movies.

    I think he looked pretty funny when he was young. I like him in his more recent series (I only watch his recent ones ), especially in Land of wealth.
