Showbiz is a tough business, and most actors go through their fair share of struggles before they finally become a household name. 

Even then, that doesn’t guarantee you would hit pay dirt or fall into a career slump.

Hong Kong actor Jazz Lam, who recently turned 42, shared about the hardships in his 26-year acting career on Instagram.

The star, who made his showbiz debut at 16 in Stephen Chow’s King Of Comedy(1999), appeared in over 35 TVB dramas before he won Best Supporting Actor at the 2023 TVB Anniversary Awards for his performance in The Invisibles.
