George Young (simplified Chinese: 吴宇卫; traditional Chinese: 吳宇衛; pinyin: Wú Yǔwèi, also known as "George Ng"; was born in the UK on 29 February 1980) and is an English Eurasian actor, presenter and writer.
The eldest of four brothers, Young was born on Leap Year's Day in London, England to a Malaysian Chinese father and Greek Cypriot mother. He was educated at Winchester College and studied acting in New York before receiving his degree in Psychology from the University of Southampton, and then a law degree at the University of Westminster and The College of Law.
Although Young completed his solicitor traineeship in the City of London law firm, and is a fully qualified solicitor for the Supreme Court of England and Wales, he gave this up to pursue his love of acting.
Young began his career in entertainment in England, appearing in BBC's Casualty and subsequently filming his first feature role in the Bollywood film Jhootha Hi Sahi.
After filming several TV commercials in Taiwan and Thailand, and a music video with Ariel Lin, Young made an appearance on Discovery Communications' Travel and Living Channel, taking a guest co-hosting spot alongside Janet Hsieh on the show Fun Taiwan. He has subsequently been credited as a script writer for the show.
