On was born to Taiwanese and Hong Kong parents on May 11, 1977, in Providence, Rhode Island. His mother was a Taiwanese Mandopop singer. After dropping out of high school, On worked as a bartender, before moving to Hong Kong. On's native languages are English and Mandarin, and he also speaks some Cantonese from his years living in Hong Kong.

While in Hong Kong, On was approached by China Star founder Charles Heung and filmmaker Tsui Hark to take over the role of one of Jet Li's film characters, Black Mask, in Black Mask 2: City of Masks (2002), despite having no martial arts or acting background. Tsui sent On to the Shaolin Temple one month for training. He even received some guidance from Jet Li himself. Despite the poor reviews and the bad box office ratings, On continued to act, improving in both martial arts and acting. Like fellow Hong Kong film star Nicholas Tse, On trained in martial arts under Chung Chi Li, the leader of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team. On began training with Chan in 2001 for the film Looking for Mister Perfect/Kei fung dik sau (2003), which was released two years later. On trained in wushu at the Shaolin Temple and studied film fighting under former Jackie Chan Stunt Team leader Nicky Li for his first film, Looking for Mister Perfect, which was shot before Black Mask 2: City of Masks, but released one year later, in 2003. On continued his acting career with many injuries, sustaining a hamstring injury on the set of New Police Story (2004) in one of the two fights against Jackie Chan. On was nominated and won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Actor Award for his role in Star Runner/Siu nin a Fu (2003). He shared the screen with the man who influenced him, Jackie Chan, in New Police Story. On has also won the Best New Artist Award in 2004 at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as Tank Wong in Siu nin a Fu, beating favorite Vanness Wu by only one-tenth of the votes. Aside from his filmmaking career, On is also a singer. He has released some tracks, including a duet with Taiwanese pop singer Jolin Tsai called "Angel of Love". His hobbies are martial arts and video games. He continues to train in Wing Chun Kung Fu with good friend, actor, and martial artist Philip Ng, and has studied Thai boxing under former world kickboxing champion and actor Billy Chau in preparation for Star Runner. During production of the film Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon (2008), On was hit in the face by a stuntman during an action sequence. On cut his lip, and, after seven surgeries, sports a small scar on his lip. He considers the scar a "trophy" of his hard work in the film.

On had a short-lived relationship with Coco Lee in which first started in June 2002. On dated model and actress Jennifer Tse from 2009 to 2013 before breaking up. During the filming of Zombie Fight Club, On met actress Jessica Cambensy. The two began dating in November 2014. On and Cambensy married on October 15, 2017, in a private ceremony in Hawaii. They have two children together.
