Hong Kong actor, Joe Ma (馬德鐘), recently attended a charity function with his wife. He revealed his son, Xiang Ma, had already returned to Australia for his sophomore year. After winning TVB’s Best Actor award last year for his role in “Life on the Line”, he hasn’t had a new series out. When reporters mentioned he hasn’t been in the public eye lately, he said he has been doing singing shows. However, he also revealed he is currently preparing to film a new TVB series in October called, “Buddies Do Big Things” (伙記辦大事).

Joe Ma expressed, “I will be portraying a lawyer this time. I’ve done it before, but I wasn’t the lead. There are a lot of reference lines. I’ve went to court and seen trials in session. I’ve seen a lot of different types of lawyers. There are some who walk out looking very dignified, some who look more warm. My character is a bit complicated. He wasn’t a lawyer from the beginning. He only become a lawyer later on. His personality is kind of extreme, has a lot of mysterious flavors.”
