David Siu

David Siu was born in Hong Kong on 24 February 1964. He comes from a middle-class family. Before joining Hong Kong entertainment, he had graduated the architecture major at Polytechnic University in San Francisco, United States. He worked as an interior designer at a company in Hong Kong. In addition, he studied political strategies at Berkeley University, USA.

David Siu entered showbusiness in Hong Kong in the late 80s, as a trainee of the 17th TVB acting class in 1987, in company with the Hong Kong "Heavenly King" Aaron Kwok.

In 1987, TVB held a talent contest to select actors, which Siu won. TVB invited him sign up with them, so he resigned the first job to become an actor.

TVB promoted him actively through leading roles in many TV series, including: Behind Silk Curtains, The Tribulation of Life, Mo Min Kap Sin Fung, A Triad of Lifetime, The Greed of Man, The Link, and Remembrance. The role of Ting How-hai (丁孝蟹) in the 1992 TVB series The Greed of Man is the most prominent role of his career.

In 1993, Siu played the character Sung Man Jeun ( 宋文俊) in the TV series The Link. His character falls in love with a rising movie star (played by Amy Kwok), with whom Siu had good chemistry. The success of this role raised his popularity in both Hong Kong and Taiwan, following which Taiwan broadcast television invited him star in the film Days Of Tomorrow (天長地久).

In 1995, Siu left TVB because he had not reached agreements in signing a new contract. Later, he signed a short contract with Asia Television (ATV). He appeared in such TV series as Justic Bao, Coincidentally, and Beggar King.

Until 1997, Siu decided to take leave of Hong Kong entertainment. He began running a 4-wheel drive conversion shop in Hong Kong.

In 2012, Siu returned to Hong Kong entertainment to reshoot films. In 2014, he shot the film Dot to Dot. After that, he participated in The Anniversary in 2015. In that film, he reunited with co-star Loletta Lee 23 years following their success in The Greed of Man.
