Power Chan announces departure from TVB

13 Oct - TVB actor Power Chan has recently released a statement on his social media account to announce his departure from the company.

According to HK Channel, the 47-year-old, who has been with TVB for 15 years after his first withdrawal back in 1993, stressed that his departure this time is different from the first.

Expressing his gratitude towards TVB in the Weibo post entitled "An Open Letter to TVB", Power expressed, "Since my return to now, it has been 15 years. I have built friendships."

The actor stated that though he originally planned to renew his contract despite the company's failure to offer him anything new, he reflected on his career while on tour for his play, "Tuesdays with Morrie", and decided to venture out.

This, he said, was due to the lack of opportunities to play the lead in TVB dramas.

"The Confidant" star admitted that he had been frustrated about his career before, and asked why the opportunities were always given to others. But at the same time, Power said he also blamed himself for not doing as well as he should.

As for his plans after leaving the company? Power said "nobody knows", and that "As long as there is a place that needs me, I will be there."
