TVB actor Jonathan Cheung recently surprised many by announcing that he is leaving the broadcaster after nearly 20 years.
Sharing the news on social media on 9 November, the actor, who joined TVB through Andy Lau’s recommendation back in 2006, revealed that he had just concluded his last drama for the station.
“19 years ago, Brother Wah (Andy Lau) arranged for me to join the TVB Acting Training Class like him and Brother Ka-Tung (Gordon Lam). I still clearly remember what Brother Ka-Tung told me before I joined TVB: ‘Once you’re in, don’t worry about anything else. Just keep your head down and work hard. You’ll definitely learn something!’ Indeed, by following that advice, 19 years later I’ve truly become a genuine actor! Thank you, Brother Wah and Brother Ka-Tung!”
After working with many producers and executives in multiple dramas, Jonathan said that TVB has given him such a great platform that allowed a wide audience to get to know him as an actor.
“Thank you for letting me meet the one and only goddess, Angie Mak, who became my wife and gave me a happy, perfect family,” he added.
He concluded by saying, “19 years later, I can finally say with great pride, ‘I, Jonathan Cheung, am an actor nurtured by Andy Lau and TVB!’ See you in the real world!”
