Michael Miu

Miu won Best Actor in a Leading Role award at the TVB Star Awards Malaysia 2017 for his role as Cheuk Hoi in Line Walker: The Prelude.

During the 90s, Miu devoted himself to his eyewear business and earned a reputation as a businessman. Due to the reasons of Hong Kong's economic downturn and uncertainty over retail industry in the future, he sold his business in 2002 to Luxottica. His comeback performance was in the 2004 cop drama The Academy, which earned him major recognition and propelled him forward.

From 1981 to 1986, Miu together with Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Felix Wong and Kent Tong were promoted as TVB's Five Tigers, a group of five of the most popular and handsome young actors in Hong Kong at the time. In 1987, Miu left TVB, and stepped back from the industry to focus on business.

Miu first met Hong Kong actress Jaime Chik in 1981 while shooting for the TVB television drama You Only Live Twice. They began dating but separated a year later. Miu dated Anita Mui briefly in 1983, whom he met on the set of Summer Kisses, Winter Tears. Miu and Chik reconciled, and the couple married in 1990. Miu and Chik have two children - a son, Murphy Miu, and daughter, Phoebe Miu, who is also an actor, both of whom reside in Vancouver, Canada.

Miu was scouted and brought into TVB's Acting Academy in September 1979. While still in training, he made cameo appearances in several major dramas, such as the 1980 The Bund. Miu's debut was in the 1980 The Adventurer's. Immediately after graduating from the Academy, Miu was offered a major role in the 1981 thriller drama The Lonely Hunter, starring alongside his classmate Felix Wong with seniors Carol Cheng and Money Chan.

Michael Miu Kiu-wai (born 18 June 1958) is a Hong Kong actor. He was considered as one of the most popular young actors of the 1980s, and along with Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Felix Wong and Kent Tong, he was the eldest tiger of TVB's Five Tigers. Miu's trade mark role was as the dashing and suave wuxia Knight-errant, though he is perhaps best known for the villainous Yeung Hong in the 1983 TV drama The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Born in Zhoushan, Zhejiang in 1958, Miu and his mother moved to Hong Kong to rejoin his father when he was five. Miu rarely saw his father, a merchant mariner, and was mainly raised by his mother. Near the end of high school, Miu's father was diagnosed with cancer. As a result he left school and began working as a carpenter to support his family.
