Acting career
[edit] |
Johnny Ngan earned his nickname "Young Master Jack (積少)" after appearing in his first TVB drama Hong Kong 81 as "Jack Chan (陳積)". In 1987, he acted in The Seasons, a popular drama series shown during Enjoy Yourself Tonight.
From 1995 to 1999, he acted in the hit TVB soap opera A Kindred Spirit. His performance as the middle-aged "Chan Tai Sing (陳大勝)" attracted young viewers' attention. After this drama, he started to appear in more dramas with more screen time.
Aside from dramas, he also appeared in the popular variety show, Enjoy Yourself Tonight and a few Hong Kong films. On the set of The Seasons, there was a scene in which his onscreen wife (portrayed by Meg Lam) was to slap him. Lam slapped him too hard, which caused injury to his neck. Ngan was hospitalised for a month.
Personal life and death
[edit]Ngan was a practitioner of tai chi. He later worked as a tai chi instructor. Ngan died from squamous-cell carcinoma on 25 May 2024, at the age of 71.[1]
