Burning Flame II is the first series I’ve seen him in, and the second series I seen him in was Angels of Mission. These two characters he portrayed were also my favorite characters acted by him. I really enjoyed watching him and Annie Man as a couple in BFII, and he showed he could do comedy too. In Angels on Mission, I admire his character, Wallace, since he was so cool and calm, yet also very charming. He has acted out a variety of characters from these and other series and managed to do a good job. In the drama department, he could act out the brutish and loud-mouth type of guys (BFII), but also the calm and intelligent type (AOM), or even the villain type (WTAPII and Legend of Love). Because he knows martial arts, that makes him available for ancient fighting scenes or modern action scenes. And he’s got great comedy timing too. In the looks department, ok, he’s not drop dead gorgeous like Louis Koo, but he’s still good looking in my opinion. This guy is like a freaking walking talent at TVB, why isn’t he getting more leading and supporting roles already? Even Michael Tse is able to snag some roles opposite Sheren Teng (don’t get me wrong, I like Michael Tse and am glad he is getting more heavier roles), but just saying, Stephen Au is being very unrecognized!
I think TVB needs to promote more men that could be paired up with Gigi and Charmaine, and other older fa dans. TVB is now promoting Wayne Lai, which is a great decision on TVB’s part, but Stephen’s a pretty good candidate. He can be quite handsome in some angles, and also dashingly charming. Not to mention the chemistry he has with his past female co-stars. He has terrific chemistry with leading ladies like Charmaine Sheh a lot, and also works well supporting actresses like Joyce Tang and Fiona Yuen.
Anyway, Stephen probably looks good for his age. I say probably because his real age is undisclosed to the public. Whatever his age is, it doesn’t matter because he’s a good actor and a talented artiste. Looking at Wikipedia, it seems like he has been with ATV for 10 years (from 1990-2000), and TVB for 5-6 years (from 2002-current). Talk about loyalty, how many known ATV artistes have stayed that long at TVB eh?
What do you think about Stephen Au? Are you a fan?
