My Take
Raymond Lam is one of those Hong Kong entertainers who makes it look effortless — good-looking, decent singer, and versatile enough as an actor to headline both sweeping period dramas and slick modern thrillers. I first took notice of him in A Step into the Past, where he held his own in a packed ensemble, and then he just kept showing up in one solid TVB production after another — Twin of Brothers, Moonlight Resonance, Line Walker. The "King of Chok" nickname (that smoldering, brooding look he perfected in The Mysteries of Love) became a whole cultural moment in Hong Kong, which tells you how deeply his face imprinted on a generation of fans. He studied in the States at USC, which gives him that interesting edge of someone who straddled two worlds. He's not the flashiest star in the Cantopop firmament, but he's the reliable, watchable kind — and that longevity speaks for itself.
