Former Mediacorp star Christopher Lee has been nominated for the Best Actor award at Taiwan’s prestigious Golden Bell Awards.
He is up for the category Best Actor in a Mini-series or TV Film, for his role as a closeted gay man in the telemovie “The Long Goodbye”, The Straits Times reported on 25 August.
This is Lee’s third nomination at the annual awards for Taiwanese television. He previously won Best Actor in 2014 for the drama “A Good Wife”, and was nominated for Best Actor in 2012 for the mini-series “Forgotten”.
Lee told The Straits Times that he was “feeling pretty confident” about his chances, adding that “if I don’t win, I won’t be too disappointed.” “I am honoured and excited about being nominated again,” the 46-year-old actor said.
“The Long Goodbye” is about a man who returns to his hometown after receiving news that his crush in college has died.
The other nominees in the Best Actor category are Taiwanese actors Wu Kang-ren, Alex Ko, Fu Meng-po and Lan Wei-hua. The Golden Bell Awards will be held on 30 September.
