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.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Philip Ng as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 49.

Happy Birthday, Philip, you're the best!
