Mok Ka Yiu (Edward Mok, born May 24, 1967) is a Hong Kong actor, television host, and businessman. He graduated from The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in 1989 and joined Asia Television in 1990. In 1995, he moved to TVB and later left the entertainment industry in 2005 to take over the family business^[1]^[2], now active in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Malaysia.

Biography

Mok Ka Yiu came from a wealthy family. His father was a charger company president, his elder sister Mok Yee Man was the second wife of Taiwanese singer Dave Wang, and his younger brother Mok Ka Fung was a sergeant in the Central Traffic Prosecutions Division of the Hong Kong Police (who died suddenly in 2015 from acute myocardial infarction while on duty). His stepmother is the younger sister of former Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police, Lau Chun Sing^[3]^[4]. In 1982, he transferred to Rosaryhill School for Form 4 and graduated in 1984. Uninterested in business, he pursued an acting diploma at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in 1987^[5]. His graduation play "Soaring to the Sky" caught the attention of Jackie Chan, and he was invited to join BoB & Partners Co. Ltd.^[6]

In 1989, Mok hosted a late-night radio program with Tsang Yee Wai called "Knowing and Feeling Late-night Talk," advising teens on sexual matters. In 1990, he joined Asia Television and gained attention through works like “My Date with a Vampire” and “Today's Public Eye.” In 1995, he moved to TVB, where he played supporting roles for a decade, notably in “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber” as Yin Liting^[7]. Frustrated by the lack of progress, he left TVB in 2005.

In 2006, he expanded his family’s business by learning operations at Lenmar (a U.S. electronics brand) and investing over one million MYR to establish a Malaysian subsidiary for charging products^[8]. He enjoys motorcycles and often rides with friends like Lui Sung Yin and Michael Tong^[9].

In 2018, he returned to the stage in “Her Mother’s Funeral” and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Comedy/Farce) at the 28th Hong Kong Drama Awards^[10].
