I think in Plain Love 2, Evergreen's role is considered a supporting one. I remember there was a report about Evergreen slimming down for his first lead role, which was in To Love With No Regret. But, at the end, Bosco ended up getting higher billing. TVB was trying to promote Bosco then.

Derek first caught my attention in the Journey to the West, as the evil monkey. I thought he was so good, the fighting was excellent! Have not watch taichi masters yet, but I'm sure I'll enjoy that too.
As for Evergreen, agree, he's very versatile. He really could nail every role well, be it as good or bad guys.
That's probably why tvb is successful, besides the leads, they have a bunch of very good B-listers. Hope these guys will be given a chance eventually.
You missed out then. Chun Wong was definitely the best ZBT ever. WHy don't you give the series a chance? The first 2 episodes, I will say is probably the most boring episodes of LOCH, but the series will be progressively better when the important characters make their appearance.
those guys are much better looking than derek and wayne... plus they started earlier and catch on the ride, after a while TVB have more actors they didn't support those guys as much. TVB doesn't work on fan base, it's the type of company that has full control of it's region, so it does w/e is best for the company, and the tendency is that tall/big/hansome actor is easier to draw fans (old or new), so they just go with that.
to me, i think derek's turning point was when he starred in the action series with yuen biew (yuan biao), maggie siu, and selena li. i loved the blossom fighting scene, and he really showcased his talent. also, revolving doors of vengence was good too where he wasn't purely fighting all the time.
wayne lai was great in conquerer's story .. and he did great in "hk ppl in guangzhou" - kinda old.
in real kungfu, i think he was the villian in there. gay one too. like literally. lol

Yep! Chun Wong's ZBT is the best!
But I'd not say never for Derek as leading actor. Perhaps, Wayne, but not Derek. Derek got the package as leading actor, some look and height. And he doesn't look to be too old to be someone's father yet(well, maybe babies, toddlers) hm...unlike the father images Wayne and Evergreen sent off due to their stubby figures...
If he's lucky enough to get a breakthrough role like Michael Tse, and amassed numerous years of recognition like Michael as big supporting actor.....I think.......I think Derek can receive a miracle like Michael.
by the way, where is cheung chi kwong? It's like he's the hottest supporting actor a year or two ago, and now he suddenly disappear in recent series?

Disagree that Wayne look older than Derek. Derek actually look quite haggard in D.I.E although his role is funny. Wayne has a chubby face, but, his body is not fat and he only looks like someone in his 30s. Derek and Wayne look roughly the same age.

Derek Kwok is a good supporting actor.
But I don't think he has the face of a leading actor. Don't misunderstand; he's one of the better actors; versatile, skilled and good-looking. But I can't think of him being the lead. Somehow, it feels weird.

I'll bite you
i have a feeling i know what you mean. there are certain artist that can only excel in supporting roles, such as joe ma, but that doesn't mean they aren't versatile. a good achievement for derek is simply just getting more screen time and roles that really let him shine, even though there's a newbie he can obviously act better in.
i'm fine with the amount of publicity he's getting right now. he's dating joyce, almost in every series i enjoy watching ...
I hope so im starting to like him and he is a pretty good actor as well
he was soooo hilarious in WOIL2...i loved his character, CC, with Coco and his little twins..
