In recent years, many celebrities have left TVB in search of new opportunities. Recently, there have been rumours that two renowned stars have quietly departed from the broadcasting company after decades.
According to reports, veteran actress Law Lan (罗兰) and actor Roger Kwok (郭晋安) have recently ended their contracts with TVB. This allegation emerged after the public noticed that both stars are no longer on the company’s official artist list on its website. However, neither Roger nor Law have confirmed the news.
Law Lan has been with TVB since 1971, taking part in various dramas and variety shows. In 2002, the actress received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the TVB Anniversary Awards for her work with the broadcasting company. The 91-year-old also recently attended a mall event to promote TVB’s upcoming blockbuster, “The Fading Gold”.
There were concerns for Law Lan’s health after she had to be escorted by two helpers during her recent public appearance. However, she remains upbeat and dedicated to her work. In recent years, Law Lan has worked on per-episode projects for TVB. Regardless, her possible departure from the broadcasting company still surprised many viewers.
Roger Kwok’s rumoured departure also surprised viewers, especially given that he’s a strong contender for the Best Actor award for the upcoming TVB Anniversary Awards. The actor made his debut with TVB in 1985, playing a small role in the sitcom “City Japes”. He briefly left the company in 1996 but returned in 1998, and subsequently found success in leading roles.
In 2021, Roger allegedly left TVB again after his name was missing from the artist list. However, his agent quickly shut down the allegations. According to reports, the 61-year-old could be leaving TVB for good this time to focus on his health supplement business, which he founded with his sister. The actor previously mentioned his intention to reduce his acting roles to devote more time to business.
Law Lan and Roger recently appeared together in TVB’s “Golden Forest”, playing mother and son. While their departure from TVB remains unconfirmed, fans expressed sadness over the possibility of no longer seeing the two stars in new projects. What are your thoughts on this?
