Face to Watch

Qi Yuwu

I am not exactly into pretty boys nor hunkalicious studs. In fact, I prefer bespectacled geeky guys who look intelligent (and hopefully are really intelligent too).

However, to be fair, I do find great potential for this local actor, Qi Yuwu. He has a very versatile face that is very arresting and pleasant. Moreover, his acting skills improve with every production. The roles he stars in are varied—from comedy acting, long suffering social misfit to intense sullen hero, all prove his repertoire as a dynamic actor. He carries no hint of accent (although he is a foreign talent from Guangzhou), and therefore, is an asset for both local and regional productions. Moreover, he concentrates on honing his craft rather than attracting media attention with gossip fodder.
Next big thing? Very likely...
