After three years, TVB releases “Survivor’s Law II”. Sammul Chan’s acting skills washes over the young and fresh feeling. The entertainment business is a cruel place. If you fall behind a little bit, you would be passed over for someone else. As in the proverb: The new wave pushes the old waves away. If you don’t improve, you get eliminated.
Sammul joined TVB in 1999. He never received any formal acting lessons but the producers, 梁家樹 and 李添勝, had enough courage to use him in a series. He remembers being brutally yelled at by 梁家樹 when he filmed SL. It was due to fact that his acting style was not the same as the other actors/actresses which produced a weird feeling. Everyday 梁家樹 would make him tapes and talk to him. During the filming of the series, his confidence was at an all time low. But the resulting effect was surprisingly good. He is the only original cast member in SL 2. This time he is partnering up with Kenneth Ma and Ella Kwon. He feels Kenneth’s character is hard to portray. Last installment, Raymond Lam portrayed a hooligan lawyer which stole the limelight. Even though Kenneth has a similar character but he produces a different effect.
These eight years, Sammul hasn’t been part of a lot of series. His career pathway was not as smooth as he imagined it. He lost ground when he first started out and this has made him go through a rollercoaster ride. At first, his manager wanted him to be a singer. In 2000, he was to start recording a c.d. in Taiwan. He even has the cover picture picked out but the “9/11” event caused his boss to run off. The new boss didn’t like him and he was sacrificed for someone else.
Sammul said: “That was a big setback for me. Originally I was confident about being a singer. Everyone knew I was going to record the c.d. in Taiwan. In the end, I had to quietly come back to Hong Kong. It was extremely embarrassing! But I didn’t give up on myself. I took every opportunity that came to me. Like SL, I didn’t leave even when I was yelled at. Nobody can predict their own fate.” Sammul seemed helpless when he said that. He has always been a good guy. He grew up in a strict environment. He never thought that his “file” was scratched up when he looked back at his last ten years. He was hoping that his life would not be “stained”. The largest one is being presumed and called a homosexual. He regrets not directly addressing those allegations. If it happened to him right now, he would straightforwardly deal with it. This way people would not have misunderstood him.
