Linda Chung Felt “Brother’s Keeper” Role Was Custom-made for Her
Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) is thankful to Brother’s Keeper <巨輪> for giving her the closest chance yet to become a legitimate TV Queen, attributing her success to an alluring script and a character she deeply resonates with.
Linda has collaborated with TVB’s finest artists ever since the start of her acting career. She has been nominated for the TVB Anniversary Awards almost every year, though has only took home the Most Improved title. A favorite of TVB executives, Linda was given yet another chance to compete for TV Queen this year with a starring role in heavily-promoted series Brother’s Keeper. Linda was under heavier public scrutiny than usual and became a target of unfounded media gossips.
Although it was a steep price to pay, Linda was rewarded with a Best Actress recognition at the TVB Star Awards Malaysia on December 1. An emotional Linda spoke about her effort throughout the years, and thanked everyone who had supported her along the way, especially the team behind her latest series.
Even though she was only a teenager during the 1990s, Linda is full of nostalgia about the time period. Living in Canada with her parents and two older siblings, she and her family shared a modest but loving lifestyle. With her parents holding down multiple jobs to make ends meet, Linda has learned long ago to treasure every moment she gets to spend with those she loves.
She maintains a close relationship with her mother in particular. When Linda signed on to film Brother’s Keeper, her mother graciously sent over her own clothes from the era so that her daughter will be dressed for the part. Playing smart and ambitious fashion designer Rachel Cheuk, Linda finds many similarities between herself and her character. “I feel that Rachel is a role custom-made for me. She and I share a similar background. She left her home [to pursue her dreams], and I did as well. I also enjoy nostalgia and love vintage culture, so I really like this character.”

I like u Linda but this is definitly not the best acting your done. It’s the worse and I saw some flaws in your acting. I think u acted better with Steven Ma. Better luck next time. Krystal Tin acted really well that even Edwin Siu needs to catch up to her cuz I found some falseness in his acting. Shame but hey I agree with a lot of you that commented.
