Article in today's 蘋果日報 Apple Daily (20080404)
For those of you interested, there is an article in today's 蘋果日報 Apple Daily about my decision to leave TVB. The interview is called 「係一個唔開心嘅甘草」 河國榮把掹發哥闖荷李活, written by Kitty Tai who interviewed me over the phone last night. It is a very good write up.

It's a pity not to see you any more on local TV, but I am glad to hear that you've made up your mind to pursue your career or your dream.
With very best wishes for your future!

hello Enna.
you have to click on the article popup menu and select the article. I'm concerned that the article's URL will eventually change and therefore only provided the section URL.
the article's URL for the moment is http://appledaily.atnext.com/template/apple/art_main.cfm?iss_id=20080404&sec_id=462&subsec_id=830&art_id=10947083.
take care,
Ho Kwok Wing

Hi Kwok Wing,
Congratulations! You have finally made up your mind, and you can walk farther on your career, though, it's a loss for someone likes me, who frequently see you from TVB drama since I was a kid. I can still remember that, in a quite recent drama(I mean within this few years) that I learnt that you sing quite well also.
Anyway, if you see Isabella in Hollywood, say hello for me, and tell her that I've fallen for her since her movie "Isabella". I wish I can marry her.
Good luck! I am looking forward to see you act with Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves one day! Also, if you can introduce me to Isabella, I will be super happy~ Just kidding for the last part, haha~

Shock!
GOD! I am soooooo ignorant. I did not know u r Australian until today, despite having watched ur drama on tele for almost 20 yrs. I always thought u r British.
Good decision! U should have left earlier. TVB only gives opportunities to the few actors at the top of the hierarchy. The rest they just treat as trash. The salary is not good either. "Give in or get out", as they say.
Anyway, good luck with Hollywood!

with my best wishes
It's a pity that cant see you on TVB any longer but i m still glad to hear that you've started a brand new life in other places!
Hope evrything is goin' perfectly with you!!
Good luck and take care!

hi
Hi, Greg. I saw you this evening on a TVB series after having heard you'd given it up to go to Hollywood. Anyway, I checked out your site to see what you've been up to and am glad to see you're doing well.
During one of my few extra stints a few years ago at TVB, I heard from another extra that Chow Yun-Fat was a stand-up guy and actually talked to the "ke-le-fe's" unlike the other local stars - perhaps because he had also apparently gotten his start that way.
Regards,

hi there
Hi Mr. white-guy-in-TVB,
I just found your blog from the ad in gmail(?!) somehow. I admired you a lot because of your bravery and your passion. It is so glad to hear that you are going to get on a happy and exciting journey once again. You will be missed by 99% of people in Hong Kong (with the fact that 1% are watching ATV). wish you goooood luck in mexico.

Good luck
Hi! It's great to hear that you'll continue to pursue you dreams, despite it will probably mean we HK people will see you less often in TV. We will be missing you! And good luck and have many great successes in your future!
Posted by: Eric | Sun, April 20, 2008, 15:51 | Respond to this comment
I love to see ur shows. I guess I'll just have to see them from re-runs late at night. I'll miss you on the TV but I'm also very happy you're pursuing your dreams.
Good luck in the future! Kiss your dogs for me~

Don't be depressed
我好鐘意你架
其實，以你的精通中文的洋人
在外國應該可以更，早就不應留在TVB 啦
記得打blog 等香港觀眾可以知道你的近況^^
Support you Forever~
