Chow Yun-Fat vs Li Nanxing

Both are my most admired actors of all time – one in the world (encompassing Hollywood), the other in homeland Singapore.

Chow Yun-Fat, 53. Nicolas Cage emulated him on the set of FACE/OFF. Quentin Tarantino worships him like a god. The Los Angeles Times in 1989 proclaimed him "the coolest actor in the world" when his sensational GOD OF GAMBLERS rewrote Hong Kong box office history (and in spite of Chow having not made a single American film at that time). Enough said.

Li Nanxing, 44. The 'King of Caldecott Hill' is our answer to CYF. Handsome and charismatic, the star of THE GOLDEN PATH boasts an illustrious television career that spans some 22 years and even paralleled the latter's trajectory by headlining three of MediaCorp's most profitable mega-productions to date (which were, incidentally, based on gambling).
