Popular actor-producer Simon Yam (Election, PTU, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Yam, a cultural icon

Born Simon Yam Tat-wah in Hong Kong on March 19, 1955, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in history. Yam'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 Simon hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Simon Yam as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Simon, you're the best!
