Jordan Chan Siu Chun (Traditional Chinese: 陳小春, Pinyin: Chen Xiaochun, Simplified Chinese: 陈小春) is a Chinese actor and musician from Hong Kong. A member of the Hakka ethnic group, he was born in Hong Kong on July 8, 1967.

Chan got his start by enrolling in the TVB Dancers' Training Class in 1985. Soon after graduation, he joined a few of the studio's troupes that would accompany popular singers during their live performances. He worked with artists such as Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, and Anita Mui before being invited by a producer to make a record of his own.

In 1994, he made his film debut with Twenty Something. Chan has since received several Hong Kong Film Award nominations: two for his role in He's a Woman, She's a Man (1994), and one each for Heaven Can't Wait (1995) and Big Bullet (1996). With 1996's Young and Dangerous, Chan established himself as a mainstay of the triad genre. The film was a huge success, and led to nine sequels and spinoffs before the series concluded in 2000. Chan starred as Kyouichi Sudo in Initial D.

Musically, Chan is known for bringing a hip hop flavor to cantopop. With his recent releases beginning around 2002, he has rapped and added hip hop beats to his music. His hip hop style has brought him new fans, although some Hong Kong fans have accused him of acting "black." He continues to incorporate r&b and hip hop sounds into his music today.

i liked him after movie Hot War.Also i like his comedy roles in movies.

[sasangil]

One of my favourite male actors, (along with Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang, Ekin Cheng and Tony Leung).

I first noticed him playing alongside EC and Simon Yam in the triad series Young & Dangerous, where I felt he was the standout actor of the cast, (the one who tied all the plot lines together as it were). Funnily enough, it was JC's scenes with Karen Mok in Y&D3 that got me interested in her, (thus beginning a huge Karen crush that exists even today )

What I like about Jordan Chan is that he doesn't mind doing roles outside of what some might see as his proper movie role, (tough guy/gangster). He is one actor, that I'd love to meet in real life.

my fav actor/singer! amazing all-rounder! hope to hear and see more of him in the near future...seems like he's a bit out of the music scene!

[LittleKungFuGirl]

Hakka, eh? I didn`t know that. That`s interesting.

He's the best Wei Xiao Bao, I think. He was unrestrained in that role. No offense to Dicky and Tony fans.

[nastynas]

one of my favs since young and dangerous, the fifth one sucked without him.

[babycushion]

He seems kind of arrogant to me, has an attitude? But I guess that's just being himself and being different?

[durian]

love his character in the young and dangerous series
