Of all the actors on the first row, Roger Kwok is the only one that can act. Sad.

The competition is nearly as big of a joke as the female version.

This roid monkey couldn't act for a day during his tenure. His acting was highly exaggerated and/or "comedic" because he didn't know how to speak Cantonese and carried a heavy accent. He would never be given a chance to reach stardom.

Looks like he signed up for more than he can chew.

@anon Canadian shows are watched around the world. Kim's Convenience (with Simu Liu who plays Shang Chi in the new Marvel movie) and Schitt's Creek (with Eugene Levy and Katherine O'Hara) were picked up by Netflix and is very popular in Canada and the US. Both shows also have a strong cult following. There are many other shows. They may not be mainstream on US networks, but are definitely quality shows with a large audience. Otherwise there wouldn't have been multiple seasons and award recognition for the outstanding script and performances.

@m0m0 By her third year as an actress at TVB, on her 5th filming project, The New Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre where she played Chow Chi Yeuk, one of the leading casts, she was already acting better than most TVB actresses today that had been at TVB for 10+ years. This is why TVB heavily promoted her early on in her career because she had talent, the work ethic and the willingness to learn from her elders. A stark contrast to the actors born in the 90's.

@seriously Spot on with the Linda Chung comment. TVB is a has-been now with their lack of quality current and up and coming actors and actresses, and they can't produce any world-class quality shows to show any respectability and self-worth.

@anon you're not wrong. Julliard grad is a huge achievement in of itself

It's way too soon to judge whether Fala is a 'glorified extra' or not. It's only been one episode. Talk about jumping the gun.

@bubbles23 No one watches Canadian TV shows. Let's be honest here. Fala is still ahead by being a 'glorified extra' in a blockbuster HBO TV show that people will watch and pay attention to than Selena being a leading actress in a low budget Canadian TV show that nobody watches. Selena even returned to TVB cause she can't find better opportunities in the west.

Almost all of the shows look trash to me. MAYBE I'll watch Shadow of Justice, just for Bobby, but Joe Ma is the other lead that can't act to save his life. Without china money, the shows don't even have a shot of being watchable IMHO.

It doesn't matter if you can nor cannot speak Mandarin in Mainland dramas as most voice work are dubbed.

@anon I gave up too till I watched Ali! She gave me that feel, be it just me being bias or not. I just hope now she will not disappear from TV, else I see myself stopping on TVB again

@conan2209 Amen. "Long gone the days when we feel their emotions thru their body language, their eyes and their manner of speaking" I have long given up on TVB dramas. Fortunately, I can find such quality acting and emotions on display in Chinese and Korean dramas.

@anon I’m with you on this! It seems that now, as long as the artiste can drop a tear or be hysterical, they are considered good. Long gone the days when we feel their emotions thru their body language, their eyes and their manner of speaking

@anon Im not fan of Kelly nor do i think her acting is very good but i think acting quality is quite subjective. Tho i agree TVB new gen's acting aren't really on par but i think Kelly is consider not bad. There are also plenty good actors left in the station

I don't think many that watch TVB dramas on a regular basis know what decent acting is anymore.

Sounds like the experience of just about every immigrant group to Japan unless you're Black and White. These are called expats.

I hope you do retire and never act again. There is no market for Linda Chung beyond TVB.

@anon She accepted many other jobs without the consent of his agency. For example, her doing a very a provocative photo shot (almost nude), which his agency believed it ruined her innocent image & hence will affect her career.
