King Lau's life began in the notorious Kowloon Walled City of Hong Kong, where he spent his early years before immigrating to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with his family. His father worked in the steel industry, while his mother was employed in a garment factory. At university, King initially aimed to become a Religious Studies Professor, but later changed course, instead training to become a Professional Wrestler in the esteemed "Dungeon" of the Hart family in Calgary, Alberta.
King's debut match took place at the 80th birthday celebration of Stu Hart, the founder of Stampede Wrestling, an iconic event that marked the beginning of his professional wrestling career. Concurrently, he became involved in local independent films and production projects, providing additional opportunities for him to showcase his talents.
As one of the first full-blooded Chinese Professional Wrestlers, King's achievements garnered significant attention, including a feature article in a Hong Kong newspaper. This exposure caught the eye of a Chinese film company, which subsequently cast him alongside martial arts master Gordon Liu and popular Hong Kong actress Flora Chan in a drama series. This experience reinforced his desire to pursue an acting career.
In addition to his work as an actor, King is also a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturist.
