Melvin Wong Gam-Sam is a versatile Hong Kong actor, former pharmacist, and barrister, known for his prolific career in the Hong Kong film and television industry, particularly in action and drama films. Born on January 29, 1946 (or 1949, sources vary) in Oakland, California, Wong initially pursued an academic career in the United States, graduating with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of California, San Francisco. By chance, his career path shifted when he became involved in the film industry, eventually starring in numerous Hong Kong films and TV dramas from the 1970s onward. Some of his notable film appearances include Righting Wrongs, Heart of Dragon, Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars, and Eastern Condors.
