Early life

edit

Sham was born in 1990 in Hong Kong.[1] He grew up in Tuen Mun and lived at San Wai Court with five siblings.[2][3] He aspired to become an actor since primary school after watching the 1995 film Full Throttle, citing his desire to "try different lives".[4][5] He attended San Wui Commercial Society Secondary School [zh], where he was classmates with actor Lam Yiu Sing.[6] During his school years, he considered himself "deviant", having skipped classes, smoked, and even been arrested once.[7] In 2007, Sham was discovered by film director Heiward Mak on a sports field when Mak was conducting field research for a feature film.[4] Along with Lam Yiu Sing, he was invited by Mak to star in her film High Noon, released in 2008, marking his acting debut at age 16.[5] This experience strengthened his interest to pursue an acting career, although he faced a two-year hiatus without any film roles, which he attributed to his young age making him unsuitable for many characters.[5] During that time, he held various jobs, including truck driver, salesman, renovation worker, real estate agent, insurance agent, and shopkeeper of a barbecue park.[5][8] At 18, Sham directed a short film Hope at Mak's suggestion, documenting the daily routines of him and his family after his Form 5 graduation,[9] which won the Gold Prize in the 14th ifva Awards.[10]

Career

edit

In 2012, Sham joined Mak's newly founded talent agency Dumb Youth,[11] and began taking minor roles in RTHK television series and student film projects.[10] In 2013, he starred in a lead role as Char Siu in the segment "Hide and Seek" of the horror film Tales of the Dark 2, directed by Lawrence Ah Mon,[12] and appeared in Mak's 2014 romantic comedy Uncertain Relationship Society [zh].[13] He received his breakout role as Chen Keung, a talkative member of the protagonist baseball team, in the sports drama film Weeds on Fire,[6] which brought him public recognition.[14][15] Initially not cast in the film, he joined the cast's baseball training alongside his friend and the male lead Lam Yiu Sing, and impressed director Steve Chan, who created a character for him.[5] In 2017, he had a supporting role in the crime film Dealer/Healer,[4] and played a main role as Sing, a friendly young prisoner, in With Prisoners [zh].[16] He also began developing a television career with a recurring role in ViuTV romance series 3X1.[17] In 2018, he landed his first male lead role in Distinction [zh] as Ka-ho, a student labeled problematic due to family issues.[18] Kelly Ho of South China Morning Post praised the lead cast as "incredible" and "effortlessly brought [each character] to life",[19] while Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter noted that Sham's performance compensated for the rapid character revelations in the script.[20] He also portrayed younger versions of Eric Kot and Jordan Chan in Tracey and Golden Job respectively,[21] and starred in the web series Hong Kong West Side Stories [zh] and Demon's Path [zh-yue].[22][23]

In 2019, Sham received his first main television role in ViuTV's school-themed drama Limited Education [zh], playing an inept student running for student union president.[24] The following year, he had a supporting lead role as Brazil Turtle in Leap Day,[25] and starred as a real estate agent in Who Sells Bricks in Hong Kong [zh].[26] He also portrayed Kevin, an autistic youth who serves as a plot device to break the fourth wall, in The Gutter [zh],[27] a role that director-screenwriter Norris Wong tailored specifically for him.[28] The same year, he became one of six hosts of ViuTV's variety program be ON game [zh], which received positive viewership,[29][30] and returned to host its second and third seasons in 2022 and 2023.[31][32] He co-founded the sketch comedy YouTube channel Trial & Error at the invitation of Neo Yau in 2020, and became a recurring actor on the channel, debuting with a parody short film of Reservoir Dogs.[33]
