Yes, and he speaks all those gibberish-sounding chemistry terms. Bet most of the people whose native language is Cantonese can't do that.

Is his part big or he just appear in 1 or 2 episode?

[realdeal]

He doesn't have a big part. Only appears in several episodes. But when he does come up, I'm usually amazed by those chemistry terms he throws out.

this guy's really funny. i love every role he play

[LifesGood]

Thanks cmu_wasabi for the link. I have always liked seeing him, even more amazed now learning his life story.

Two series I could think of where he has meatier roles: A Handful of Love and Riches and Stitches (the one he mentioned in the interview). In Riches and Stitches he plays the classic corrupt foreign ambassador in 1930's Shanghai; in A Handful of Love he is a good friend with substance who even has some heart to heart talks with the other characters, which was a delight to watch. Thanks to the person/people who casted him. Hope tvb gives him more roles like that.

Any other?

[kidd]

Yeah, I really like his role as Pacino. Very likable character and he has great chemistry with Rebecca Chan.

I read in one review that his character kinda end up with Louisa So character in Lost In Love. He played Louisa So's character's housemate. Did he have a big role in Lost In Love?

oh yeah, he played a taxi driver in that one. He didn't really had a big role other than being Louisa So's best friend....

that gwai lo is hilarious ~
hahah he can speak fluent cantonese as well his native british english ~
he rocks

[Lost4eva]

He is an awesome actor!! He have been in showbiz for so long and I always thought he was talented to be able to speak in fluent Canto! I'm chinese and I can't speak canto so I'm quite sad!

I haven't watched any of his recent shows but I think he is always the head cop that bosses ppl around! or in ancient.......he is a british taking over or have power over china! I hope he will actually play a supporting role which would be cool!! Hope he will be in more episodes than j/ a couple and then disappear!
