Trivia

Son of a Chinese mother and British father (Frederick William Perry), who abandoned the family in Anthony's early life.

Had his own indie rock band during 1995-2002. His mostly self-composed debut album provided an intimate look at the madness and iconoclasm of the actor renowned for unforgettably chilling psychos, complex authority figures, etc.

Favorite directors/films worldwide: Fassbinder, Bergman, Kurosawa's Dreams, recent French film The Chorus (which reminded him of his childhood and brought him to tears), 1900, The Last Samurai, Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano version), Twilight Samurai, Lin Zexu (starring Chinese icon-actor Dan Zhao.) Thinks highly of Wen Jiang, director of Devils on the Doorstep, and the upcoming The Sun Rises Again starring Anthony Wong.

Favorite Hong Kong directors: Herman Yau (a good friend), Johnny To, Wong Kar-wai.

His infamous roles as dreg of society and sociopaths (Ebola Syndrome '96, The Untold Story '92), trace their insights and sensibilities to a childhood of bullying due to his biracial appearance. Much of the frustration and pent-up emotions are intimately documented in his albums (1995, 2002.) He survived the abuse and discrimination, but was truant enough to graduate from high school at 21.
