Introducing – Actor – Lawrence Chau
Introducing my new actor client Lawrence Chau – http://www.lawrencechau.com
He is a multi-faceted, multi-award-winning entertainer with an illustrious portfolio spanning acting, hosting, writing, producing and music. He has worked in Canada, Asia and now America.
He is widely known as the host of the award-winning paranormal series Ghostly Encounters, which airs stateside on Destination America, north of the border on OWN Canada, and in Asia on Crime & Investigation TV.
After graduating with a degree in journalism, Lawrence first rocked the airwaves not in his hometown of Toronto, but rather half way around the world in Asia.
First TV gig: as co-host and writer of Citylife, Hong Kong’s top rated prime time English entertainment and lifestyle program in the mid-90s. During this time, Lawrence also acted in theatre and appeared in numerous commercials and print ads.
The floodgates to show business, however, really burst open when Lawrence was talent scouted by the television execs in Singapore. Originally slated to become an afternoon vee-jay, Lawrence was drafted practically by accident as a temporary roving reporter on Showbuzz, the nation’s No. 1 English prime time entertainment news program.
The new 1997 season of Showbuzz featured an aggressive media campaign plugging the new anchor with no mention of Lawrence whatsoever; however, like its own E! True Hollywood Story, the public and press took — not to the new anchor — but to Lawrence (subsequently dubbed The Accidental Host) with a never-before-seen-like frenzy.
In addition to hosting, Lawrence has acted in numerous projects in Asia, Canada and the US. He also continues to work behind the scenes writing and producing, and is currently developing a TV series, a web series and a feature film.
He recently acted in General Hospital and in two high-end short films: the award-winning Dive, which focuses on a boxer forced to take a “dive” in a career-changing match because of his hidden sexuality; and Farm 1, which sheds light on the dark subject of child trafficking.
