  1. LOL. this guy always plays a boss or a police head...now he's actually apart of the supporting cast... i think he looks out of placed he looks way too old for the role -lol what do you guys think.

    Are you serious that is his actual nickname? xD

    My friends and I have called him gwai lo for years (and Hon Kwun Ting gwai mui). Its sad I can't take him seriously cause he always plays the same cliched roles. What can I say, Im shallow. -blush

    LoL, yeah. So somebody besides me DID notice that he always either plays a police head or a boss or something of high position. So stereotypical that TVB always puts him for high positions xD I guess his acting is okay, but when I first saw him on TVB, what surprised me was his chinese-speaking. Although it isn't as good as a regular person from China, the words were pronounced pretty well for a gwai lo. ^.^

    i think that the white guy should still with being the boss of a company or being a head of the police force. he doesnt look right being a normal person.

    Think he's been with TVB for really really long. I think he's paid his dues.

    Lol i agree with u... i don't think he's that suited for the role he was in, he's more like a boss type, rich ppl etc.
