Andy On (traditional Chinese: 安志傑; simplified Chinese: 安志杰; pinyin: An Zhi Jie; Cantonese Yale: On Chi Kit) (born 11 May 1977 in Providence, Rhode Island, United States) is a Chinese American actor and martial artist.
On was born on 11 May 1977, in Providence, Rhode Island. As a native to the USA, Andy On can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Andy On was approached by China Star founder Charles Heung and filmmaker Tsui Hark to take over the role of one of Jet Li's film characters, Black Mask, in Black Mask 2: City of Masks (2002). Despite the poor reviews and the bad box office, Andy continued to act and, in fact, improve in not only martial arts but acting as well. Like fellow Hong Kong film star Nicholas Tse, Andy trained in martial arts under Chung Chi Li, the leader of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team. He began training with him in 2001 for the film Kei fung dik sau (2003), which was released 2 years later. Andy On trained in wushu at the Shaolin Temple and studied film fighting under former Jackie Chan Stunt Team leader Nicky Li for his first film, Looking for Mister Perfect, which was shot before Black Mask 2: City of Masks but released in 2003. Andy On continued his acting career with his fair share of injuries, sustaining a hamstring injury on the set of Xin jing cha gu shi (2004) in one of the two fights against Jackie Chan.
I will keep on looking far beyond the sun
I've never felt this way before
That all we know is here
Lost within the nothingness
And all we feel is here
Here inside this emptiness
The pain is getting strong
It's getting stronger than me
But I will never lose my faith in you
I can't bring you back
(though I tried)
I threw it all away
(when I lied to you)
Here I lay beside the angel of betrayal
I hear the voices calling my name
So, distant you've become it's haunting me
I've done wrong but could you forgive me?
You see me tryin'
You see me dyin'
And loosing all my faith
The pain is getting strong
It's getting stronger than me
But I will never lose my faith in you
I can't bring you back
(though I tried)
I threw it all away
(when I lied to you)
So, distant you've become it's haunting me
I've done wrong but could you forgive me?
I hear your voice calling me
You see me tryin'
You see me dyin'
