Fung Tak-lun (born 9 August 1974), known professionally as Stephen Fung (Chinese: 馮德倫), is a Hong Kong actor, singer, writer, and film director.
Fung Tak-lun was born in Hong Kong, and is a graduate of the University of Michigan. Stephen made his acting debut in Forbidden Nights (1990), playing the childhood version of the male lead. By 1998, Stephen was voted by the Hong Kong press as "Upcoming Actor of the Year." In 2004, Stephen wrote/directed/starred in his feature film directorial debut, Enter the Phoenix, for Jackie Chan's newly formed company, JCE Movies Limited; it became an instant hit. His second directing/starring feature, House of Fury, Stephen's first collaboration with legendary action director Yuen Wo-ping, proves also to be a success. House of Fury was the opening film for the Hong Kong International Film Festival 2005, official selection for the 18TH Tokyo International Film Festival, and at home, the highest grossing Hong Kong film for the first half of 2005. Besides continuing with his acting career, Stephen directed Jump, written and produced by Stephen Chow for Sony Columbia Pictures Asia. In 2012, Stephen directed the first two installments, Tai Chi 0 and Tai Chi Hero, in the "Taichi Trilogy." The two films had a combined gross of over US$50 million worldwide. Fung currently serves as executive producer and action director of the AMC original series, Into the Badlands, which stars Daniel Wu.
