His name should be changed, Chiang Kam is a mixture of Cantonese and Mandarin:

Should be changed in Chiang Chin or Cheung Kam/Gam.

His first movies were shot in Taiwan, I don't know if he is from Taiwan or Hong Kong.

As I have stated, mixing Cantonese and Mandarin romanizations is not uncommon (Especially mixing Wade-Giles family names with a Cantonese given name, in this case), and should not be used as an argument unless there is no romanized credited name anywhere at all. Apart from the one cited, is there another romanized credit to back this up?
