Early life

Career

Lee is famous for, amongst others, playing the title role in Singapore's Mediacorp Channel 5 television sitcom Police & Thief as Lee Tok Kong, Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd as guest appearance Lee Kok Peng from season 5 until season 7 and in Mediacorp Channel 8 long series television drama Holland V as Su Hao. He also gained recognition for his work with Jack Neo and Henry Thia in films such as Money No Enough and ' and long-running comedy variety programme Comedy Nite. He made his directorial debut in the comedy horror film The Ghosts Must Be Crazy.
Along with long-time colleague Christopher Lee, Mark Lee was awarded the coveted All Time Favourite Artiste award in the Star Awards 2010 and became the first host-cum-comedian to win the award as the previous winners were predominantly thespians.

He co-hosted the popular home makeover programme Home Decor Survivor and the infotainment programme Behind Every Job with Bryan Wong, which won both a string of nominations in the hosting categories at the Star Awards. In 2012 he won his fourth Best Variety Host award for his popular show It's a Small World.
Lee was always given an on-screen name/surname of Ong or Huang, particularly in Jack Neo's movies, with the exception of ', That One Not Enough and Ah Long Pte Ltd.
On 9 March 2017, Lee opened a production house King Kong Media Production with partner Yinson Marine Services, a Malaysian oil and gas company. He is now working on a film project for 2018.
