Kent Tong Chun Yip (Traditional - 湯鎮業 Simplified - 汤镇业）was born on September 19 1958 in Hong Kong, China. He was a popular TVB actor during the 1980s in Hong Kong. He is no longer active in the TV industry in Hong Kong, but remains acting in Mainland China.

Kent Tong received actor training from the TVB Artist Training Class, and proceeded on to act for TVB, where he made his name known. Although he has appeared in over a dozen movies, he is mostly known for his work in various television series, such as "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". His most remembered roles are princes and villains. During the 1980s, Kent Tong, along with Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Andy Lau, Miu Kiu Wai and Felix Wong, made up the "Five Tiger Generals of TVB", who were the most popular male actors of TVB at the time.

Despite his successes in the early 1980s, he personal life was encumbered with obstacles. After the suicide of his then girlfriend, popular TVB actress Barbara Yung（翁美玲), in 1985, allegedly over issues with their relationship, his popularity among the Hong Kong audience waned.

He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in the Tigers in 1991.

He recently lost 37 lbs for a slimming program in Hong Kong.
