Early life

edit

Mak was born in Shunde District, Foshan, China, and his ancestral hometown is Qingyuan, Guangdong province.[citation needed]

Career

edit

Mak was praised for his portrayal of the main antagonist, Leung Fei-fan (Fei Fan Gor), in the 2010 TVB drama No Regrets, for which he won the TVB Anniversary Award for Best Supporting Actor. He also won the Best Actor in a Supporting Role award in the Asian Television Awards 2011 for the same role.

He is also known for his voiceover work for cartoons, as well a children show host for Flash Fax and After School ICU.

Mak made his mainland China debut in May 2021 after working with TVB for three decades. His final acting role with TVB was in 2015's Captain of Destiny and he left TVB in 2019 when his contract expired. He was one of a score of former TVB artists who moved following a lack of opportunities in Hong Kong with the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests and the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong.[1]
