Since I moved to Taiwan, I've had nothing but great luck in meeting the right people and landing the right projects. I owe all of this to the support of my new manager and my family. One of my favorite projects this year is 天平上的馬爾濟斯"Justics for Love." It' s a groundbreaking Taiwanese crime drama that tells the story of a murder mystery. This is the first time for me as an actor to assume such an emotional and physical demanding role. Fortunately, the hardwork paid off. The show received great reviews and I have landed other projects as a result of the show's success. For actors out there, we all know how important this means. A job is a job and we can only do our best to deliver the performance. Most of the time it goes unnoticed, so all we can do is be persistent and don't ever stop working. I've seen it....As soon as you stop, God takes it away from you. You might think..."oh man, that was my best work ever and no one saw it!" Whenever you feel down or feel like your talent is wasted, just know that there's always somebody watching.
The show has ended so you can watch the whole thing on youtube.

Below is a recent press release in chinese about my tribute to the show.
文:路斯明其實我不太欣賞我在劇中扮演的這位年輕有為的大律師,因為他是個又冷漠又自負又脆弱的傢伙,跟真正的我很不一樣。
在一開始,我總會問自己:為什麼俊揚會如此無條件地愛著青芸,卻又故作大方讓?為什麼一個依靠豪門世家長大的孤兒,要在法庭上拼命地爭?但是每多演一場戲,我就多認識俊揚一點,最後我能了解並且同情俊揚這樣的一個人。
在戲裡背不完的法律專有名詞和一長串的法庭辯論,每每把看不太懂中文的我給搞得人仰馬翻,雖然導演總是要求我慢慢來,說話慢慢來、動作慢慢來,但是天生熱情的我總要花很大的功夫,才能把俊揚的冷給表現出來,真是辛苦大家了。
很高興有機會參與公視這部劇情很棒的戲,也很高興能和台灣這麼多優秀的演員合作,最後謝謝映畫製作的曼娜姐看出我對戲劇的熱情,還有王明台導演很有耐心地幫助我的演出。
