Ruco Chan Chin-pang (born 14 January 1977) is a Hong Kong actor and singer. Chan gained fame for playing the role of Keith Lau in the TVB television legal drama The Other Truth.

After graduating TVB's Artiste Training Class in 1994, Chan appeared in small roles in many TVB television dramas. In 1998, Chan left TVB and signed a record contract with PolyGram, and released the single "BLUE" that same year. Before returning to TVB in 2008, Chan joined ATV and portrayed starring roles in many ATV television dramas.

Early life[link]

Chan was born in Hong Kong of Fujian Chinese ancestry. His father was a firefighter and his mother worked as garment factory worker. Influenced by his father, Chan developed a love for table tennis and joined the Hong Kong Table Tennis team after receiving rigorous training at the Jubilee Sports Academy when he was thirteen. He was the youngest player to represent Hong Kong in overseas competitions at the time.^[1] After five years of committing to the sport, Chan left the team upon finishing his high school education exams. After graduation, Chan was accepted into a technical institution and, attracted by the 3,000 HKD monthly income, also joined TVB's Artiste Training Class. Being only seventeen at the time, Chan was required to have his parents' signed approval before signing a management contract with TVB. His father initially refused, but later gave in when TVB offered an automatic contract cancellation if Chan didn't do well in his classes. Chan graduated from TVB's Seventh Artiste Training Class of 1994.

Career[link]

Chan's television debut was in the serial drama Instinct in 1994, where he briefly appeared as the young friend of Ekin Cheng's character Pao Man-lung. Weeks later, he made a brief appearance in the sitcom A Kindred Spirit as the friend of Andy, portrayed by Hawick Lau, who was Chan's training class classmate. For the next three years, Chan performed in minor roles in over eighteen TVB television dramas. Chan left TVB in 1998 after signing a record deal with PolyGram. Prior to the release of his debut EP, Universal acquired PolyGram and Chan's contract with PolyGram became defunct. For the next few years, Chan won several small supporting roles in various Hong Kong films. When he had no filming jobs, he would work as a renovation worker, earning only 300 HKD per day.

In 2001, Chan signed with ATV to start working on television acting again. According to Chan, his first two years at ATV were "rough, uncomfortable, and filled with regret."^[2] Despite his past acting experiences in both television and film, ATV only gave him minor roles and spots in music videos. Chan's first major role was in the 2004 period drama Love in a Miracle, playing the main antagonist. He was then given a major supporting role in My Date with a Vampire III (2004). Besides performing in television dramas, Chan also made appearances in many variety shows, and hosted many gala ceremonies for ATV.

Unsatisfied with his career at ATV, Chan returned to TVB in 2008 and signed an eight-year management contract with the company.^[3] He was cast into supporting roles in several successful television dramas, such as The Threshold of a Persona (2009), Burning Flame III (2009), The Mysteries of Love (2010), Ghost Writer (2010), When Lanes Merge (2010), and Every Move You Make (2010), most of them being villainous roles. In 2011, Chan garnered media attention and critical acclaim for his portrayal of barrister Keith Lau in the television legal drama The Other Truth. Chan was nominated for a TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actor and a TVB Anniversary Award for My Favourite Male Character at the 2011 TVB Anniversary Awards. Though he failed to make into the top five Best Actor nominations, he was a top five contender for My Favourite Male Character. In addition, Chan was one of the fifteen winners to win a My AOD Favourites Award for My Favourite Drama Character at the 2011 My AOD Favourites Awards.
