6 | As a teen, Max Mok always wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement, intending to become a police officer when he grew up. But despite graduating police academy with flying colours, his choice of career was greatly opposed by his father, who insists on Max being a clerk and office worker. Working a relatively boring life as a salaryman, Max, by chance, managed to enroll himself in a part of April 1980's Hong Kong Talent Search, landing him his film debut in July of the same year. |

10 | His career finally had a breakthrough in the 1990 film ''Lung Fung Restaurant'' (alongside Creator/StephenChow). Max made a name for himself when performing a deadly stunt in the film (one which involves jumping off the fourth floor of a building), badly injuring his arm in the process and proving himself to be a dedicated player in action cinema. Further roles in ''Lai Shi, China's Last Eunuch'' and ''[[Film/OnceUponATimeInChina Once Upon A Time in China 2]]'' would bag him a nomination in Hong Kong's 24th and 29th Golden Horse Awards for Best Acting Performance. |
