Ching Tien(1935-1993)
- Actor
- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
A Shanghai native with roots from Hunan province, Shaw Brothers
contract character actor Tien Ching is known by many for his less than
flattering roles playing his signature cuckold, impotent, lecherous,
slippery, smarmy, back-stabbing roles in countless martial arts,
exploitation and adult-oriented comedic fare throughout Mandarin
dialect dominated Hong Kong cinema during the 70s. Previous to his
tenure at Shaws, Tien Ching's roles were much more auspicious while
under contract with Cathay/MPG&I as a young actor in the 60s where he
had been elevated to leading man status in many Cathay contemporary
romance and period action titles.
