Kang-Sheng Lee

Lee Kang-sheng (b. 1968, Taipei) never studied acting but he still managed to become one of Taiwan´s leading film actors (appearing, for example, in The Kid, Rebels of the Neon God, The River, Ordinary Heroes, A Way We Go, Goodbye, Dragon Inn and a number of others). For the film Vive l´amour he won Best Actor at the festival in Nantes, and for his performance in What Time Is It There? he was awarded at the Manila IFF. The Missing is his directing debut and he is currently making a second film called Help Me. "Over the past ten years, I was continually acting in other people´s films, portraying the experiences of others. But, actually, I really want to take my own experiences, my own thoughts, my own stories and, in my own way, share it with others. So I decided to make a film about "missing", for which I found inspiration in my own family", says the director.
