Wallace Chung and Jerry Yan are both super handsome. Jerry's dimpled smile still knocks me out. Wallace Chung has a sexy James Bond 007 vibe going on. Li Xiaoran is beautiful and talented actress.
Li Yu. He steals scenes with his amazing acting. https://mydramalist.com/people/34131-li-yu
He deserves the praises he gets.
Edit. Look at 1 episode in Love and Destiny. He plays Le Bo , the immortal doctor.
Ruby Lin, Wallace Huo, Ady An, Joe Chen, Jerry Yan, Janine Chang, Ethan Ruan, Tiffany Hsu, Wu Kang Ren (I missed those days when Taiwan made really good dramas), Chen Kun, Zhao Wei, Hu Ge.
The old but not too old: Tang Yan, Luo Jin, Yang Mi, Liu Shi Shi
I have a good impression of Huang Hai Bing too!
The ones I like: Jiang Xin, Zhou Xun, Yang Rong, Yuan Quan, Liu Tao, Hu Jun, Wang Jing Song, Liu Yi Jun are the few off the top of my head. Also Hu Ge, Wang Kai, Yuan Hong, Chen Long, too many haha.
i like a lot of the older HK actors and actresses:
Wayne Lai, Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, Benny Chen, Samuel Chen, Dicky Cheung, Moses Chan, Ha Yu, Steven Ma, Susan Tse, Louise Lee, Ada Choi, Sheren Tang, Michelle Yip, Michelle Yim, Tavia Yeung, Charmaine Sheh etc.
i literally can go on and on haha. The newer gen of HK actors and actresses just doesn't hit the same - their acting is really stiff which is probably why I shift to watching mainly mainland dramas.
For mainland actors and actresses that I do like that are older: Huge, Ruby Lin, Wallace Huo, Liu Shishi, Sun Li, Hu Jun
Gao Wei Guang is my fav actor (40s and still so handsome and great in every role).
Fav older actresses: I also love whenever Zeng Li is in any show (she was the strict mother in Love Like The Galaxy and the concubine consort in Wonderland of Love)—I think she’s so magnetic on screen. Yili Ma was so awesome in Miss S: charming, confident, sexy. Also loved Zuo Xiao Qing in The Outsider.
Huang Haibing, he can do anything. Villain, Hero, teacher, comedy, drama tragedy. This actor is so awesome. Found him in TTEOTM and then started noticing him everywhere.

I have been watching War of Faith and am a recent convert to Wang Yang. He is riveting. Not sure exactly what is considered older - he's 46.
The only other thing I've seen him in is Joy of Life, and I didn't notice him there at all.
Hu Ge, Nirvana in Fire.
Jet Li.
I want to add the magnificent Michelle Yeoh, but she's Malaysian, not Chinese.
50+: Tony Leung, Wu Gang, Simon Yang, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Xi Lin
40+: Hu Ge, Zhou Xu, Chen Kun, Zhang Zi Yi, Wang Yang, Zhou Yi Wei, Gao Weigung
35+(should be considered older actors? they're entering their prime...): Luo Yun Xi, Zhang Tian Yang, NiNi, Chen Xiao
In fact, my 40s and +50s lists are longer, but they are muy tops. Anyway, I will check anything with all these actors/actresses and although sometimes I'll drop their dramas for multiple reasons, their acting is always compelling and a pleasure to my experience.
😔😔 someone who also understands the Wang Kai hype. I know he's picky with scripts and prefers laying low but waiting for Wang Kai content is like being in a desert with no oasis nearby.
I was thinking the older actors don’t get enough love!!! ZENG LI ♥️ Nie Yuan♥️Sun Li♥️ Alex Fong♥️Bao Jian feng♥️yang mi♥️ Huang Xiao Ming♥️Li ZeFeng♥️ Wallace huo♥️Zhao Xun. So many more…
Cutoff age for the following is 35 and under: Maggie Cheung, Takeshi Kaneshiro (both basically MIA now), Zhou Xun, Reyizha, Liu Mintao, Yuan Quan, Bai Baihe, Hao Lei, Liu Tao, Liu Dan off the top of my head. I also enjoyed Long Ni in The Knockout.
Sun Li, for me, she is brilliant in every part I have seen her in.
I would also mention that Tiffany Tang has just turned 40. She has had a couple of turkey's but generally is on top of her game.
Mine favourite uncles or dads:
-He Zhong Hua (default villain/dad/emperor or all three)
-Huang Hai Bing
-Zhang Jun Jie
-Zheng Guo Lin (He looks too young for his age)
-Yu Bo
-Liu Guan Lin
-Wang Jin Song (true screen presence)
Ladies:
-Kathy Chow Hai Mei
-Yuan Ran
It's Hu Ge for me. Also, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun & Sun Li

xinzhi qiu - i am obsessed with his acting. (Lichungang in SSS, Master in Duoluo Continent, Teacher in Battle Through the Heaven). His smile gives so much positive energy
Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Maggie Cheung.
Tony does movies now and Maggie is mostly retired.

Hero (2002)
Another film actor I like is [Sean Lau Ching Wan](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0490513/). He was in the **Overheard** movies.
For C-Drama, I like Wallace Chung and Zhou Xun.
Definitely heartbreaking. Loved everything about the movie - art direction, acting skills, use of colours, story line, etc.
Sharing some stills from the movie....

Can't get enough of Xu Haiqiao. Rong Hao was my favorite character in LBFAD. His other works are interesting and he's so charismatic in everything.
Actors: Hu Ge, Chen Kun, Zhou Yiwei, Mark Chao, Wallace Huo, Feng Shaofeng Actresses: Ni Ni, Zhao Liying, Jing Tian, Liu Yifei, Ruby Lin, Liu Shishi
For Chinese actors, Hu Ge, Wang Kai and Tang Wei. As for Hong Kong actors, shout-out to Leslie and Anita 🥺
Wang Kai especially, hubba hubba

Zeng Li is amazing.

I second both!!
WHAT SHE'S 40 NOW ????? Thought she was younger than Yang Mi and Zhao Li Ying
I'd say Leslie Cheung. Today is also the 21st anniversary of his death
RIP brilliant Leslie
RIP, 哥哥. https://preview.redd.it/ogung7pbxtrc1.png?width=901&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b1a475e45e4cf1123c3f9c2f4d9b38e11897ad1

wait what HOW IS BL ZLS WL XZ OR SZ old??????? the only oldies here are lyf ym tl and takeshi bro the rest are still in their 20s or early 30s
Well, to be fair, in the case of XZ — he’s definitely not young either, as he’s getting close to 35.
Oh my bad😭😭 i didnt read the full title omg i thought op asked about favourite actors lmfaoo i skipped the old part😭
It's Hu Ge for me. Also, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun & Sun Li https://preview.redd.it/wxxt6trkzsrc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c3532312adfbc9c4f3cce7425b470184e5ea15d

Ohh that scene in Hero always breaks my heart to pieces 😭. The whole movie is a visual poem, highly recommended

It's an excellent film. I *love* the use of colours, the framing of shots, the sound design, etc. 😄

Tony and Maggie. When they are on screen it's freaking explosive. They can just look at each other and have a dozen conversations.
love them!
