An international cultural treasure, Wu Hsing-Kuo began his training at age 11 with the Fu-Hsing Chinese Opera School, subsequently entering the Chinese Culture University and studying Shakespeare and other Western classics. After graduation, he performed leading roles for the Cloud Gate Dance Theater. Keenly aware of the decline of traditional Chinese Opera, Wu and a group of friends founded the Contemporary Legend Theatre to revitalize the art form by adapting classical Western plays to the style and technique of Peking Opera. He is a three-time winner of the Military Golden Award for Best Actor, and in 1992, he received a Fulbright Scholarship to study in New York and the Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Actor. Wu has also acted in films, playing the leading roles in Ho Ping's Eighteen and Tsui Hark's Green Snake. In 2005, he was commissioned by the Asian Cultural Council to reconstruct traditional theater in Cambodia. In 2007, he directed and performed A Taoist's Dream with Kunqu actress Qian Yi. Wu won the 1994 Hong Kong Film Award as Best New Actor for his role in The Temptation of a Monk directed by Clara Law.
