John Lone in The Hunted (1995)

Trivia

John Lone

  • Fluent in several Chinese dialects, although he speaks mainly Cantonese.
  • From 2004-06 he was mostly based in China, producing period TV series or costume dramas co-starring with Chinese actresses from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Mainland China.
  • In 1990 was chosen by "People" magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World.
  • In early 1997 he revealed that there was a large French financial group interested in investing in a top-rank Chinese production with the Ming Dynasty as the backdrop, which would have begun shooting the following July or August. Ang Lee was at that point in discussion as a possible director. The party was interested in investing HK $100 million to assist China in the excavation of several unopened ancient tombs and in the process make a documentary with him as the host. Both projects failed to materialize.
  • He was the first choice for the lead role in Farewell My Concubine (1993), but didn't reach a deal with the producers.
  • Alumnus of the AADA (American Academy of Dramatic Arts), Class of 1978.
  • While attending the Peking Opera he grew up with martial arts legends Lam Ching-Ying, Tai Po, Chiang Wing-Fat (aka Mars), Chung Fat and Chan Lung, among others.
  • A performance artist, touring mainly in the Orient.
  • Studied Peking Opera under Sifu Fan Fok-Fa.
  • In approximately October 2000 he was considered for the lead role in "The Hero Zheng Cheng Gong", a film project that Wang Tong was set to direct from a script co-written by the latter and You-Ning Lee. Japanese, Taiwanese and U.S. production companies were working together on the big-budget project, and it is estimated that $10 million was spent in pre-production. Shooting was scheduled to begin the following summer. The project, Yingxiong Zheng Chengong (2001), materialized two years later with a different cast and crew.
  • In mid-April 1997 he signed with the Chinese production company Golden Harvest to make "Duk Bo Tin Ha" (lit: "Alone Walking Heaven Earth"), which was set to begin shooting in China the following October with a budget of over HK $20 million. The film was adapted from the true story of a famous Chinese race walking athlete, and HE would have played a coach. If this had happened, it would have been Lone's first Mandarin-dialogue film.
