Philip Ng is celebrating his 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Philip Ng (Birth of the Dragon, Once Upon a Time in Shanghai, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Ng, a cultural icon

Born Philip Ng Wan-lung in Hong Kong on September 16, 1977, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Ng's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Philip hasn't done.
