Early life

edit

Hong attended San-Chung High School. After his military service, he worked briefly at Nan Ya Plastics Corporation.[1]

Career

edit

Hong entered the entertainment industry in 1987, working on costumes and props for the CTS variety show Lien Huan Pao ("Barrage"). Within a year, he started taking on acting roles in the show. In 1991, he decided to leave the show after failing to secure an acting contract.[2]

He worked a variety of jobs, including taxi driver, mail carrier, milkman, gas delivery, mover, shopkeep, furniture salesman, and truck driver. However, a chance meeting with actor Peng Chia Chia gave him the opportunity to return to the entertainment industry as Peng's chauffeur and assistant.[3]

In 1998, Hong joined Hsu Hsiao-shun's acting troupe Rock Family. Hsu thought of Hong's stage name Hung Tu La Ssu, which sounded the same as the Central American country Honduras.[4]

Hong and Hsu acted in skits for the SET Taiwan variety show Golden Night Show. He began doing impressions of celebrities and earned a spot on the CTi TV political sketch show Everybody Speaks Nonsenses. He gradually gained recognition for his various characters and impressions on the show.[5]

Proficient in Taiwanese, Hong was often invited as a guest on shows such as Kangsi Coming and 100% Entertainment for Taiwanese topics.

Personal life

edit

He married in 1996,[6] and has a son and a daughter.[7]
