Priscilla Wong Tsui-yu [upper-alpha 1] (born 23 October 1981) is a Hong Kong actress and television host. Wong began her career as an anchor at i-Cable in 2003, later joining TVB in 2012 for her acting career. She made her TV acting debut in Reality Check (2013) and received the "Most Improved Female Artiste" award at the 47th TVB Anniversary Awards in 2014.
Priscilla Wong was born on 23 October 1981 in Hong Kong, [1] the second oldest of five daughters. Her father worked as a fishmonger, originating from Chaozhou, while her mother is a homemaker. [2] [3] Growing up, her family struggled financially and lived in a public housing unit in Ma On Shan. [3] [4] In 1998, her father co-founded Luen Wong, a construction company that later became publicly listed in 2016. [5] She attended Pentecostal Lam Hon Kwong Secondary School and graduated in 2000. During her time at school, Wong developed an interest in acting, particularly in stage theater. She actively participated in the school's drama club, assuming leadership responsibilities and taking part in various performances. [6] [7] It was during this time that she also received a scholarship to study acting in England. [8] Wong initially dreamt of entering the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts [9] but ultimately pursued a degree in communications and public relations at Hong Kong Baptist University, graduating in 2003. [10]
In 2003, Wong began working as an anchor for travelogue and entertainment news programs at the cable network i-Cable. She had a brief stint at Now TV in 2010 but returned to i-Cable a year later. [11] [12] At the time, she was known for having easy access to holding interviews with the comedian Stephen Chow. [2] While Wong had a few opportunities in acting early on, including her role opposite Dicky Cheung in the film The Champions (2008), she did not fully transition into a professional acting career until she signed with the television network TVB in 2012. [1] [11] [12]
Wong ventured into TV acting with her debut in the television drama Reality Check (2013), where she portrayed the role of a television production assistant. [13] During the same year, she also appeared as a pickpocket in the costume drama Karma Rider and co-hosted the travelogue Pilgrimage of Wealth 2 alongside Tony Hung. Her hosting skills earned the "Best Host" at the 46th TVB Anniversary Awards. [14] [15] In 2014, Wong was recognized for her progress as an actress and received the "Most Improved Female Artiste" at the 47th TVB Anniversary Awards, for her performances in the television dramas Return of the Silver Tongue and Swipe Tap Love . [16] The following year, Wong's on-screen chemistry with Edwin Siu in television drama Madam Cutie On Duty scored them two "Favorite Onscreen Couple" Awards at the StarHub TVB Awards and TVB Star Awards Malaysia, respectively. [17] [18]
In the following years, Wong's notable works included her role in Two Steps From Heaven (2016), where she portrayed a two-faced and manipulative character. This marked her first antagonistic role, a departure from her previous more straightforward characters. Her performance in the series earned her a Top 5 nomination for "Best Actress" at the 49th TVB Anniversary Awards. [19] In 2017, Wong received recognition as one of the "Best Hosts" at the 50th TVB Anniversary Awards for her participation in the travelogue program Dodo Goes Shopping Season 2 . She co-hosted the show alongside Carol Cheng and the hip-hop group FAMA. [20] During the same year, Wong also took on the role of an undercover police officer in the crime drama Line Walker: The Prelude . She later reprised the same character in the sequel Line Walker: Bull Fight (2020). [21]
Wong starred in the melodrama Life After Death (2020), where she portrayed a young widow navigating life challenges following her husband's demise. The show was relatively popular, and secured the fifth position on Yahoo! Hong Kong's "Most Search Television Dramas" of the year. [22] [23] She was generally praised for her performance. [24]
In 2014, Wong met fellow actor Edwin Siu on the set of television drama Madam Cutie On Duty . They started dating some time later and were married in 2018. [25] Additionally, she developed a close friendship with Shiga Lin and Yoyo Chen after working together on the TV series Life After Death (2020). [26]
