Chapman To (Chinese: 杜汶澤, born 8 June 1972), born Edward Ng Cheuk-cheung (Chinese: 吳卓彰), is a Hong Kong-Taiwanese actor. He is best known for his roles in films such as Infernal Affairs and Initial D. He is also the founder of his own multimedia platform known as "Chapman To's Late Show". In 2022, To officially naturalised as a Taiwanese citizen.

To was born at Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei. His father worked in a fruit shop in Yau Ma Tei. To studied at Diocesan Preparatory School and Diocesan Boys' School. His stage name was adapted from the horse "Chapman River" (澤汶渡) due to his previous hobby of horse betting.^[1] He began his acting career in TV soap operas and moved to the big screen in 2000. He is best known for playing Tsui Wai-Keung in the Infernal Affairs trilogy, as well as the role of Itsuki Tachibana in Initial D. He married Kristal Tin in 2005. In 2006, he starred in Pang Ho-Cheung's film Isabella with Isabella Leong.

Along with acting, To was also a radio personality for Commercial Radio 2(CR2). He hosted the show, On a Clear Day (在晴朗的一天出發), a 2-hour morning show co-hosted by Michelle Lo and Jan Lamb. However, after a fall-out with the key personnel of the radio company, Chapman lost the radio hosting job in 2006.

To is also an avid amateur photographer. In 2011, To was hired as the photographer for cantopop singer Prudence Liew's album Love Addict. To stated that this was the first time he was paid for his photography work.

On 3 August 2018, he founded a multimedia platform called "Chapman To's Late Show" (杜汶澤喱騷).^[2] The channel mainly made fun of current issues in Hong Kong. It also made tutorials for smores and interviewed famous politicians and actors/singers from Hong Kong. Due to the platform's content being daring, down-to-earth and its satirical way of presenting current issues, it was widely praised by Hong Kong's netizens.^[3] In 2020, To announced that the platform would be pulling out of YouTube and Facebook, and subsequently established a paid platform at lateshow.net, with the subscription fee being HK$60 per month and VIP subscription HK$600 per year; VIP members get access to special content such as his stand-up comedy live performance of 2020. Celebrities such as Anthony Wong and Gregory Wong have appeared in its shows.^{[4][better source needed]}

In March 2014, To expressed support for the Sunflower Student Movement in Taiwan, which was skeptical of a proposed agreement to create closer ties between Taiwan and mainland China.

During Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement, he was involved in online arguments with some mainland netizens.^[5]

To criticised the Chinese government and proudly stated to netizens to "Stop me from coming to the mainland if you've got guts."^[6] Chinese audiences reacted and To's first two movies after the incident, Let Go for Love^[6] and Aberdeen, flopped at the Chinese box office.^[7] The production companies apologised and regretted casting To.

Hong Kong directors such as Wong Jing subsequently refused to work with To, resulting in him being blacklisted in both the Chinese and Hong Kong movie market.^[8]

Exiled from the lucrative Chinese market, To focused on Malaysia and Singapore.^[9] Despite not having any Chinese investment, his films have achieved success in their target markets. To acted as director, writer, and actor for these low-budget films.

To moved to Taiwan in November 2020, and announced in February 2022 that he had attained Taiwanese citizenship.^[10]
