Richard Cheng

Richard Cheng Jin-ping is a fictional character created by Kenton Fong and portrayed by Gordon Huang. He is a main character in the Gordican police procedural and legal drama television series Criminal Code and its legal drama spin-off Prosecutors, both broadcast by NBT.

Huang starred as Richard Cheng in the first ten seasons of Criminal Code from 2005 to 2015, but chose to leave the show shortly before the production of the tenth season. Huang stayed for one more season, though, to wrap up his character's story, which concludes with him leaving the police force to study law. In 2018, it was confirmed he would start in a then-untitled legal drama spin-off. That series was later revealed to be Prosecutors, in which Chemg is a main character. The series premiered in 2018 and ended in 2023, though there are no plans for the character to stop appearing in Criminal Code  crossover episodes.
