Wayne Lai to play hitman in new TVB drama, "Assassin"

16 Aug – After spending nearly half a year filming his first mainland drama, it was reported that Wayne Lai is set to return to TVB with a new drama, "Assassin" (working title).

According to HK01, the actor will be working alongside Moses Chan as two career hitmen who try to live normal lives despite the nature of their job.

"The drama hopes to be more realistic and not portray the assassins as the media did in the past. Even as hitmen, we still need to live our lives and put food on the table," said Wayne.

When asked if he is only doing one TVB drama per year, Wayne said that he never specified the amount of series he can work on yearly.

"If there is a job for me, I will be there. I will never leave Hong Kong. I am a Hong Kong actor," he said.

The upcoming drama co-stars Elena Kong, Ali Lee, and Katy Kung.
