Cheng Gwan Min was a Hong Kong TVB actor, most notable for his role in Project A2 alongside Jackie Chan. Cheng died in China at the age of 78, reportedly from lung cancer. A native of Baoan county, Guangdong province, Cheng was once a theatre actor and broadcaster. In 1936, he made his debut "The Three-Day Massacre in Guangzhou" in Guangzhou. During his long career of more than half a century, he made more than 200 films, mostly Cantonese.

A skilful imitator of singers from the East and the West, Cheng had numerous albums and performed Cantonese opera and musicals. He earned himself a nickname "Elvis Presley of the East".

From the 1970s onwards, he became a host of the classic variety show "Enjoy Yourself Tonight", with occasional guest appearances in films.
