Sammy Shum gains more confidence
21 Sep – Praised for his role as a courageous undercover cop in "Line Walker", Sammy Shum admitted that the series has given him a boost of confidence in his performance.
As reported on On CC News, the actor, who attended the banquet for new series "Breaking the Line" recently, admitted that he was at first pressured to play the role, which was originally given to Sammy Leung prior to his illness, seeing that they both have different styles of performance.
Sammy said, "I kept being compared to Sammy Leung and was pressured to do my best. But now that I see the feedbacks from viewers, I am more confident about my acting."
"I felt like I had created my own style, and was able to break away from Sammy Leung's original performance," he added.
With his popularity surging, his performance in "All That is Bitter is Sweet" has also received a lot of commendation, so much so that Sammy is now rumoured to be the hot contender for this year's Most Improved Actor at the upcoming TVB Awards.
Meanwhile, the actor has recently flown to Taiwan for the on-location shoot of his new sports series "Breaking the Line".
After injuring himself riding a motorcycle in "Line Walker" previously, Sammy said that he will be extra cautious when it comes to filming cycling scenes.
