Connection
Charlie Chin is a Actor Chinois born on 19 may 1948 at Nanjing (Chine)
Charlie Chin (born Qin Xianglin, also spelled Chin Hsiang-lin, on May 19, 1948, in Nanjing, China) is a Taiwanese actor.
He first had his break, when he moved to Hong Kong with his family at an early age. At only 12 years of age Charlie moved to Taiwan to join Fu Xing Ju Xiao, a Peking opera school. At the age of 20 he moved back to Hong Kong to join Guo Tai Movie Inc.
His movie debut came in the film Xia Ri Chu Lian, literally translating to "The First Love In Summer". With Brigitte Lin, Joan Lin and Chin Han, the 4 eventually became known as the "Two Lins, Two Chins" which became iconic of 1970s romance films in China. The names became a guarantee of box office success, and so Charlie was constantly paired with one of the '2 Lins'. Charlie won 2 Golden Horse Awards and in 2000 he also presented one in Taiwan. Charlie retired from acting and began working in real estate. He lives in California with his wife and 2 sons.
Il décide à l'âge de 20 ans de retourner à Hong Kong où il signe un contrat avec la Guo Tai Movie. Son premier rôle sera dans le film The First Love in Summer. C'est ensuite à Taïwan qu'il décide de continuer sa carrière.
Il obtiendra la consécration en jouant dans le film A Heart With a Million Knots. Grâce à se succès, il joue dans beaucoup de films, surtout des films d'amours où il a souvent les actrices Lin Ching Hsia et Joan Lin comme partenaire.
En 1975, il remporte le Golden Horse du meilleur acteur pour sa performance dans Long Way From Home, titre qu'il remportera à nouveau grâce à sa sublime performance dans le film Ren Zai Tian Ya en 1977.
Il remporte à nouveau la consécration en jouant dans "Le Gagnant" de et avec Sammo Hung en 1983 où il interprète l'un des 5 rôles principaux (il incarne le personnage Vaseline) rôle qu'il reprendra dans les 2 autres volets Le Flic de Hong-Kong en 1985 et 'Le Flic de Hong-Kong 2 également en 1985.
Les autres acteurs du films (John Sham, Richard Ng, Stanley Fung et bien sur Sammo Hung) reprendront également leurs rôles. Au début des années 80, Charlie Shin décide de goûter à de nouveaux genres cinématographiques.
On peut le voir dans le film de guerre Eastern Condors (1987) et le polar noir On The Run (1988). Il décide ensuite de s'éclipser du monde du cinéma.
Il vit aujourd'hui avec sa femme et ses 2 enfants en Californie où il est devenu un homme d'affaires.
