WHEN he first started out in 1991, he was just a boy of 20 years old, hitting the local entertainment scene with his rap group 4U2C. Gaudy outfits, CDs hanging on the neck and all, the group achieved stardom with their hits such as Fiona, 2BD#1 and Kenangan Cinta.

He left the group and went on a solo venture.

AC Mizal (real name Mizal Zaini, born 21 December 1971) is now a well-known name in the TV, film, theatre and music industry!

He stayed in the limelight with TV's top police series, Gerak Khas, for five years where he played Inspektor Mazlan. He won Anugerah Bintang Popular trophies for Popular TV Drama Actor in 2000 and 2001. He then went on to the silver screens and there's no stopping him since.

AC acted in 1999's Pasrah, Gerak Khas The Movie, Gerak Khas The Movie 2, Buli, Makar, Baik Punya Cilok, Buli Balik, Cicak Man, Zombie Kampung Pisang, Diva, and soon-to-be-released Los and Faun and Cuci.

However, it was not until the 2006 ambitious staging of Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical when everyone really took notice of his acting prowess. Clearly, he received rave reviews in his potrayal of Gusti Adipati Handayat Ningrat.

AC Mizal also released his mini album, Tassamaqu in 2005 - his first album since 4U2C disbanded. The album received modest success and AC went on to act in VCD productions (namely Tumpas, Cucu Tok Kerinchi, Makar, Gari and Skuad Elit), hosting game shows and talk shows, and emceeing for big events such as the 19th Malaysian Film Festival.

The Managing Director of Best Line Entertainment (M) Sdn Bhd and General Manager of Emac Vision Sdn Bhd is now hosting his own talk show on Astro called AC Di Sini every Friday night - a unique show which highlights the latest events, updates and gossips on Malaysian personalities including exclusive breaking news interviews. He also plays his own sidekick - Cik Mat Poi (CMP)!

That's not all... he is also hosting a top-rated radio breakfast show, Pagi di Era with Kieran and Yasmin Hani and has a new single under KRU Music Group called Di Sini.

And there are definitely more good stuff coming from this guy - he is truly full of surprises!
