After receiving the Jade Solid Golid “Golden Melody Gold Award” for his song, Chok, in early January, Raymond Lam became the object of severe criticism. Despite this, Raymond remained the #1 Brother at TVB. In his new series, Fight Crime, Raymond will sport an unshaven appearance to fit his rough cop role.
Despite growing a beard for two weeks, Raymond only had a bit of facial hair growth above his upper lip. In addition, Raymond had to exercise at the gym daily to a achieve a better body for his role in Fight Crime. Last week, while filming in an outdoor scene, Fight Crime producer, Lam Chi Wah, who requested that more hair growth was necessitated. However, Raymond replied, “I’m afraid it would get dirty!” Producer Lam immediately let the issue go, “Then that’s okay!” Afterward, Raymond revealed, “The producer asked me to grow out my beard longer, but the facial hair on the sides of my jaw are not dense! I can’t help it!”
In Fight Crime, Michael Miu will portray the main villain. The female lead will be Elaine Ng . Kate Tsui and Ella Koon will fight over Raymond’s love. The cast was appealing and the production may even turn out to be this year’s Anniversary series! Ella will portray Raymond Lam’s subordinate; the pair will be involved in a romantic arc. To fit her policewoman role, Ella wore neutral makeup, risking the possibility that she may appear tired in the HD footage.

For Raymond, this may be considered a breakthrough.
