Hi everyone. Well here I am in Beijing. It's my first time here and man it's cold. Haven't been subjected to cold weather in a while. Was fortunate to meet an American Businessman who was kind enough to have his friend drive me to the city centre. He then took us out for dinner for what was to be my first Xiabu Xiabu experience. I then hopped in a cab and headed to a Hostel in the Qianmen area for the first couple of nights near Tianmen Square. Took the opportunity to take a night stroll once I was settled in to c...Read more
Well, the callbacks are done. The first day consisted of an interview with the production crew / judge panel that went very well. After the interview I was asked to do a historical presentation for them on camera which, what I thought, went smoothly. The second day was more challenging as we did an on set screentest in Fort Canning Park. We ended up doing an improv intro of the Park. It was very challenging and although I think I could have done better, I think I faired well. The second part of the screen test involved interview...Read more

Ok, this is definitely not as entertaining as Simon Yin's happy taiwan pitch, but then again it is the History Channel so it's a different approach. I just finished editing my casting video for the History Channel. They are looking for a new host for their History Asia Segment. It was shot here in Hong Kong. I would like to thank my wonderful Camera Op Grandmaster Simon Yin for his time and use of his awesome mic. So here it is and all I can do now is stay positive and maintain my optimism. Enjoy and I will let you know if...Read more

I received an email and link from my father today. The link was to an article in the Vancouver Sun announcing the death of my Senior Highschool Principal Mr. Bob Carkner. He was truly a man of inspiration. He passed away at the age of 73 which made me realize how many years have gone by since I graduated from highschool. He was a man who seemed to have time for everybody. When I was in Grade 11 he learned about my Sport Karate results and took an notice. He even announced one day on the PA about my recent Grand Champio...Read more

Hey everyone. Check out my lastest TVC for Cheong Kung Holdings / Le Prestige. It's probably one of the most creative commercials that I have ever par-taken in. All shot on blue and green screen. Pretty amazing. Check it out. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnHZTGZEBE8
