90s TVB Heartthrob Mark Kwok Looks Just as Dashing At 61

Remember 90s TVB actor Mark Kwok Yiu Ming?

Once a familiar face on screen thanks to his heartthrob looks, he left the Hong Kong broadcaster in 2007 after acting in The Ultimate Crime Fighter.

Rumours later surfaced he had switched careers and entered the insurance industry, and he has largely stayed out of the public eye since.

Recently, a netizen shared a Xiaohongshu video of Mark congratulating a friend on their birthday.

Now 61, he sports a head of silver hair and a beard, and still exudes the same masculine charm that once earned him a following of female fans.

Many netizens commented that they hope he will make a comeback, while others remarked that he “just needs a change of clothes and he is ready to appear on screen."

Before entering showbiz, Mark worked as graphic designer.

Finding the job monotonous, he decided to switch careers and enrolled in Asia Television (ATV)’s artiste training class in 1984.

His classmates were Amy Yip and Christine Fong Kwok Shan, best known for her role as Nezha in 1986 TV series The Boy Fighter from Heaven.

He did not join showbiz immediately and only officially became an actor in 1992.

In 1994, he moved to TVB and gained wider recognition after being cast in popular long-running drama A Kindred Spirit, playing the son of Chor Yuen’s character.

During his 12 years at the station, Mark appeared in more than 40 dramas, often cast as unfaithful or unlikeable characters such as Cheng Hak Song in The Duke of Mount Deer.

Despite his leading man looks, Mark never quite broke into the top tier of TVB stars.

It was rumored that he was not favoured by the powers that be after being discovered to be living with a male companion, and in his later years at TVB, he was largely relegated to supporting roles.

He eventually left TVB in 2007 and is believed to have joined the insurance industry.
