I think you guys are talking about Gregory Ho Kwok Wing aka Gregory Rivers (Ho in cantonese). I guess Life Art is the first that he has a role throughout the series and not just guest appearance. From wikipedia: Gregory Charles Rivers (Chinese: 河國榮, Ho Kwok Wing), (born 1965— ) is a Hong Kong actor of Australian heritage. Growing up in Katoomba (AUSTRALIA), he moved to Hong Kong before finishing his medicine degree at the University of New South Wales. Speaking fluent Cantonese, he is currently a TVB actor. Practically every major character who is a foreigner (no matter whether a French or English man) in TVB dramas is played by him. He has also appeared on stage, as protagonist, in 2005. His Chinese name is made up of the Chinese equivalent of his surname Rivers (河) and the name of his idol Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing (張國榮). He is an active member of the Mac circle in Hong Kong, and a popular blogger. In real life, Rivers has not divulged why he is so interested in learning the Cantonese language.
Yes, sometimes is good to see that people can learn our language and adapt which means we can do the same if we put our hearts to it.
wow he is soooo smart! he from ausstralia. cool! i rekon his acting is pretty cool better than alota 'asians' that were born outside australia
