Originally known as Lin Hsi-hsien, Lin Chong was born to a Taiwanese provincial legislator and a Japanese mother in Tainan, Taiwan. He graduated from the Tamkang Junior College of English (now Tamkang University).

His started his career in 1955 as a Taiwanese film actor. In 1957 when Lin completed his military service, he was invited to play in some Taiwanese and Mandarin films. In 1962, Lin went to study in Japan, where Hong Kong had become a dreamland for film buffs. A leading Japanese film company Toho then signed a contract with Lin, enabling him to play in Hong Kong-Japan co-productions A Star Of Hong Kong and Tokyo, Hong Kong, Hawaii. Lin’s popularity was extended to Hong Kong in 1968 with his avant-garde costumes and performance.

He then became an actor with Shaw Brothers and played a leading role in a musical The Singing Thief, directed and written by Chang Cheh. The musical was a blockbuster and Lin then played in two more similar films The Singing Escort and Tropicana Interlude.
