Fun Facts:

• Kenneth is addicted to Donald Duck. He collects everything with Donald Duck on it!
• Kenneth has been rumoured with Nancy Wu (胡定欣) and Selena Li (李詩韻). They all denied those rumors.
• Ma Ming may seem a little simple and silly but he is in fact a very smart person. Not only is he good at math (Kenneth studied Mechanical Engeneering for a reason), he also has some language skills! He participated in a show called "Book of Words II" and won the whole thing while being goofy! R.E.S.P.E.C.T.!
• In The Mysteries of Love, Kenneth played the playboy cop and Raymond Lam the smart scientist. In real life, however, Raymond needed help from Kenneth to use the scientific jargon! That means Ma Ming is truly the smart one!
• In the past, Ma Ming alsways play the simple-minded good boy, but he got an image change since 2010. In The Mysteries of Love, he plays a playboy who got to kiss a lot of girls and has many bed scenes. In 2011, he got his first evil role, Yau Sam Shui, in Grace Under Fire. He hopes to play many kinds of characters.
• On TVB, he's known as the "sweet-talker". He is constantly charming the ladies and giving them compliments.
• He's one of the TVB's 6 new Siu Sangs. Siu Sangs are the male actors who are being heavily promoted by the industry. The other 5 are: Ron Ng, Raymond Lam, Kevin Cheng, Bosco Wong and Moses Chan. 

Why do I like him?
At first, I didn't see why TVB would promote him. He's not that young anymore and TVB should be focusing on the younger generation, people like Him Law!
I immediately changed my opinion after watching Speech of Silence. I was really impressed by his acting ability. I like his character the most in The Four. He has great chemistry with his on-screen love interest, Selena Li. That's why I really looked forward to A Fistful of Stances where they were paired up once again. I was pleasantly surprised by the series because normally I don't like pre-modern dramas. His character was pretty memorable nut not as much as his portrayal of a playboy cop in The Mysteries of Love or the good-turning-evil Yau Sam Shui in Grace Under Fire. He keeps improving and I really hope that he'll win the Best Actor Award one day.
Not only do I admire him for his acting ability, also his personality is great. He's very down to earth, humble and get along with all his colleagues. He's always goofing around with the lads and jokingly flirting with the girls. He's adorable but still smart!

Stay tuned for more,
