John Ching Tung (Chinese: 程東) is a Hong Kong film actor and producer. He is perhaps best known for playing Cyclops in the God of Gamblers franchise as well as appearing in many Stephen Chow movies. He once told reporters, "Although I am not afraid of acting as a bad guy, there are still two roles he refuses to play. One is a rapist and the other is Japanese. I am afraid that my daughter will not understand that. I'm also afraid it will cause controversy and will be stereotyped".

And if that means sacrificing a little pride - or even baring some skin - then so be it! Thanks to its uncommon script, The Extra manages to take Hong Kong film industry and use it as a springboard for an intelligent and satirical take on the greater problems facing average Hong Kong citizens. Plus it makes time for laughs, and features a galaxy of familiar Hong Kong Cinema names, including Christine Ng, Simon Lui, Law Ka Ying, Almen Wong Pui Ha, and Francis Ng.
