Lau Ching Wan won the 2012 Golden Horse Award for his performance in Johnny To's film Life Without Principle. These awards are comparable to the American Oscars, and certainly should be mentioned in the article.

Also, the article states that Lau Ching Wan had a difficult time at first finding acting jobs because he did not fit Chinese notions of how a leading man looks. To Western eyes, this actor is an attractive man of distinctly Asian appearance who, perhaps, had an African grandfather or great-grandfather. It would be interesting to know his ethnic heritage. Tadanobu Asano, for example, has spoken freely of the fact that his mother's father was a white American G.I., and of the effect this had, particularly on his early life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Younggoldchip (talkcontribs) 19:21, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not unusual at all. Simon Yam and Leslie Cheung for example. Two of the most strikingly handsome men ever to grace the screen. Anthony Wong had a rocky start, but went on to become one of the biggest stars in HK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.115.31 (talk) 16:52, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It might also be appropriate to mention that Variety, which is the foremost American show business publication, has called Lau Ching Wan one of the ten best living actors. Younggoldchip (talk) 13:52, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
