I'm sure many of you have watched the Forensic Heroes series, of all the characters I find Frankie Lam's character the most interesting. In the series Frankie plays Sam Koo, a forensic pathologist. I've been interested in this profession ever since watching Flora Chan's Untraceable Evidence series, so out of curiosity I decided to look up all the "popular" pathologists at TVB. Here are these "famous" individuals, how many of them are you familiar with?
BOBBY AUYEUNG AS SUNG CHI - WITNESS TO A PROSECUTION SERIES
Bobby AuYeung plays Sung Chi. His portrayal of Sung Chi should be very familiar to TVB fans; he is probably the most well known pathologist of the ancient generation. His "famous" wives includes Jessica Hsuan and Mariane Chan, who were in a love triangle with Bobby during part one. Their characters passed away in part two, therefore their "position" was succeeded by Charmaine Sheh in the sequel.
YOYO MUNG AS BAK SO - THE 'W' FILES
Yoyo Mung plays Bak So. How many of you remember that Yoyo played a forensic pathologist in 2003's The 'W' Files? The mysterious and daring Bak So paired up with the adventurous Wesley, played by Gallen Lo.
FRANKIE LAM AS SAM KOO - FORENSIC HEROES SERIES
How can we forget Dr. Koo? Frankie Lam plays the modern day pathologist, the handsome looking Sam. It's great to see the new technologies that developed since the UE days. In Forensic Heroes, Sam is paired up with the caring Ding Ding, played by Linda Chung.
FLORA CHAN AS PAULINE LIP - UNTRACEABLE EVIDENCE SERIES
Flora Chan plays Pauline Lip, a sophisticated yet emotional pathologist. It was this series that introduced me to this profession, but I was probably too young to know the term "forensic pathologist" 10+ years ago. In this series one of my favorite pairings was created, Flora Chan and Bowie Lam.
SHEREN TANG AS JOYCE YAN - THE FILE OF JUSTICE IV
When I decided to write this post, Sheren's name did not pop up in my head immediately. I actually had to think for three minutes before I remembered Joyce Yan from The File of Justice IV.
SAMMUL CHAN AS LAU WAH - WITNESS TO A PROSECUTION
Yes, Sammul Chan also played a pathologist in Witness. He plays Lau Wah. In the series, he made a forty second cameo, where he played a newbie pathologist who couldn't stand the awful smell of the decaying corpse, leaving the job to the expert Bobby.
GIGI LAI AS FRANCES SHUM - HEALING HANDS III
Gigi Lai plays Frances Shum in the third installment of Healing Hands. Not too many scenes focusing on her occupation, the series focuses more on her relationship with Lawrence Ng's Paul most of the time. For those who can't remember, Gigi dated Edmond, played by Michael Tong, before he was murdered.
KENNETH CHAN AS KELVIN KONG - DETECTIVE INVESTIGATION FILES I & II
Kenneth Chan played many minor roles during his years with TVB, including Kenix Kwok's cheating fiancé in the series. Kenneth was Kelvin Kong, the pathologist responsible for forensic examination in the first installment.
EVERGREEN MAK AS VINCENT FONG - DETECTIVE INVESTIGATION FILES II
Evergreen plays Vincent Fong, a reserved pathologist hiding many secrets. After his hidden secret was "dug" up, he was originally arrested and charged with murder. Luckily misunderstandings soon cleared up and he married his long time girlfriend Mak, played by Astrid Chan.
