Personal context

Summary

Kent Cheng Jak-si is a Hong Kong actor, director, and screenwriter known for the recurring “Fat Cat” character and award-winning roles in Why Me? and The Log. His work ranges from comedy and crime films to television dramas; Why Me? focused on the experiences of a person with an intellectual disability. Cheng has said he chose that subject because few films addressed it, researched it in person, and wrote, directed, and starred in the film. No public statements on party politics, DEI, or activism are on record.
