Melvin Wong grew up in San Francisco, California, where he attended
Lowell High School. He studied as an undergraduate at the University of
California at Berkeley, before transferring to the San Francisco
Medical Center campus, where he graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy
degree. In 1996, he obtained a law degree from the University of
London, UK, and in 1997, was called to the Bar of England and Wales at
the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn. He now practices law as a member
of the Hong Kong Bar, but, time permitting, still makes occasional film
and TV appearances. One of the more recent TV serials in which he
starred in, namely, the extremely popular "Kindred Spirit" (1996-98;
Television Broadcasts Limited), was one of the longest-running (and
most popular) TV series ever produced in Hong Kong. (He played the
popular character "Mousey".) To date, the series is still being aired
in certain parts of the mainland China as well as Southeast Asia. He
currently serves as a Vice-President of the Hong Kong Performing
Artistes Guild, the Hon. Treasurer of the Middle Templel Society in
Hong Kong, as well as on the Executive Committee of the Hong Kong Press
Council.
