Joe Cheung Tung-joe, born in 1944 and known in the industry as Brother Joe, is a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter, producer and actor. Raised in Rennie's Mill and educated at a secondary school in Tseung Kwan O, he entered the Hong Kong film industry in the 1970s, working first as a continuity assistant, screenwriter and assistant director on set. In 1977 he went to Taiwan, where he made his directing debut on a martial arts picture. Returning to Hong Kong in 1979, he directed and produced a number of films while also taking supporting roles, and from the 1990s his kindly screen presence made him a natural choice to play the fathers of leading characters in films such as Peter Chan's romantic comedies and a famous television commercial. He chaired the board of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association from 2001 to 2003 and has served as the seventh president and one of the life honorary presidents of the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild, working for many years to strengthen solidarity and development within the local industry.
