Sean Lau Ching-Wan (zh-tsp|t=劉青雲|s=刘青云|p=Liú Qīngyún; born February 16, 1964) is a Hong Kong film and former television actor who has been cast in many Hong Kong films since the late 1980s.

Lau was born in Guangdong province of China. He joined the TVB acting classes in 1983 and made his first appearance on TV the following year with TV drama "Draw Out the Rainbow". Dark-skinned with no matinee-star look, he struggled to be cast until in the immensely popular stock market drama "The Greed of Man" (1992) when he acted opposite to Adam Cheng. His wife, former (1991) Miss Hong Kong Amy Kwok, is a well-known former television actress.

Awards

He has won Best Actor Awards at the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards in 1997 and [2001) and the Golden Bauhinia Awards in 1999. He also won his first Best Actor award at the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2007. He won this award acting in the movie "My Name is Fame".

Filmography

He made his debut in film in 1986 and since then has been cast in an increasingly wide number of roles. Amongst his more memorable roles include acting opposite Anita Yuen as a down-and-out musician in "C'est la vie, mon chéri" (1993) and in a number of cop thrillers, such as "Big Bullet" (1996), "Full Alert" (1997), "The Longest Nite" (1998), "Running out of Time" (1999) and "Running Out of Time 2" (2001). He has proven himself to be one of Hong Kong's most versatile actors, handling comedy roles with aplomb, as in "La Brassiere" (2001) and "Three of a Kind" (2003).
