Zhang was born in Beijing. He graduated from the city's Central Academy of Drama in 1988. He started his career by doing Mandarin voice dubbing[2] [3] for films such as Shark Tale,[4] The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Troy.[5] Zhang subsequently played minor roles in some television series before appearing as supporting characters in films directed by Feng Xiaogang, such as Sorry Baby, Cell Phone, Big Shot's Funeral, and A World Without Thieves.[6] He was called "Feng Xiaogang's imperial film extra (calefare)" (馮小剛御用龍套),[7] and earned the appreciation of Feng.[8]

In 2007, Zhang was cast as a lead character for the first time in the war drama film Assembly. Zhang's performance propelled him to fame and placed him among the ranks of first-class Chinese film stars.[9] In 2008, Zhang also won the Best Actor Award at the 29th Hundred Flowers Awards[10] and the Best Leading Actor Award at the Golden Horse Film Awards.[11] The following year, Zhang won the Outstanding Actor Award at the Huabiao Awards.[12]

Zhang also has supporting roles in various acclaimed films, such as Cao Baoping's crime drama The Equation of Love and Death; the espionage thriller The Message; and the action film Bodyguards and Assassins.[13] [14] Zhang also played Zhang Liang in the historical film White Vengeance.

In 2012, Zhang teamed up again with Feng Xiaogang in the disaster film Back to 1942, playing a priest.[15]

In 2013, Zhang teamed up with actors Liu Ye and Huang Bo in the comedy film The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel directed by Guan Hu, where he played an opera actor.[16]

In 2014, Zhang starred in Tsui Hark's wuxia film The Taking of Tiger Mountain.[17] Playing an undercover PLA soldier, he won the Golden Rooster Awards for Best Actor.[18] He next starred in the crime film Mr. Six directed by Guan Hu; and had a supporting role in Zhang Yimou's fantasy historical epic The Great Wall.[19]

In 2016, Zhang headlined the crime thriller film Operation Mekong alongside Eddie Peng. The film received critical acclaim, and is the highest grossing Chinese cop film to date.[20]
