Hong Kong-based singer, actor, and dancer Aaron Kwok is one of Cantopop's biggest superstars. His popularity rivals only that of fellow Hong Kong superstars Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, and Leon Lai, who are collectively known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Cantopop. Born on October 26, 1965, he began his entertainment career in 1984 as a dancer on the Hong Kong television station TVB. Later in the decade he moved from dancing to acting, first on television and then in films. In 1990 he made his recording debut as a singer, ascending quickly to stardom. ~ Jason Birchmeier
