Raymond Lam denies dodging TVB's layoffs
15 Sep – While rumours are rife that TVB has been laying off artistes and freezing their salaries, former TVB top star Raymond Lam denied that he had dodged a bullet as he left the company before the cuts were made.
According to Mingpao News, the actor, who appeared at a promotional event for his new series "Line Walker" recently, stated, "I will not get that kind of treatment after more than a decade of relationship with TVB. The company was good to me and it would never do that."
In response to the cuts made by TVB, Raymond said that every company has its own policy.
"As an actor, I have always put my job as an actor first and won't worry about company matters," said Raymond.
However, the actor also admitted that unlike in the past where he knew everybody, it seemed that there are now too many new faces in the company.
"But I won't worry about my old colleagues. They won't be retrenched because of their seniority. An actor's decades of experience cannot be replaced easily," he said.
