Congratulations Wayne!

I’ve lost track of TVB that I’ve forgotten the anniversary awards were held last night. The awards were fairly distributed according to popular votes. Nothing controversial or scandalous happened. I am particularly happy with the winner of Best Supporting Actor.

Wayne Lai began his acting career way back in the 1980s. Wayne Lai defined his name as an actor with his portrayal as the Pig in Journey to the West in 1996. He has the talent but loses out to his looks, height and youth. But this did not prevent him from doing what he loves to do which is acting. He isn’t successful in terms of popularity, promotions, income and fan base. But in terms of ethics, self-improvement - he is very successful. In the past, he was unhappy and bitter with his career but his experiences have taught him to appreciate the journey and the most important matter is to be happy.

Over the past 5 years, Wayne has become more recognizable and he is well liked among the TVB community. TVB has given him many great characters and opportunities to prove and challenge his acting abilities. He would find himself stopped on the streets where people would compliment his performance in a recent drama that was just aired. These small gestures would make him feel content and happy – and to him, this is "true success" and the “reward” of hard work.

Wayne Lai is an outstanding actor who we can expect to always deliver tasteful and memorable performances. He often overshadows the main actors in every drama he appears in. He is constantly seeking ways to polish and improve. Wayne takes the time to analyze his character to define his gestures, expressions and walking to convincingly portray the character he is playing at hand.

Wayne was cheated from this award year after year. His name should’ve been engraved on the trophy 4 years ago with his phenomenal performance in The Conqueror’s Story. He was robbed again from this award in 2006 for his performance in Safe Guards. But that’s fine because his patience, persistence and positive attitude has contributed to his success today.

Congratulations Wayne Lai! There is absolutely no limit to this man’s abilities!
