Early Life And Education

Hawick Lau was born on October 13, 1974, in British Hong Kong. He is the son of veteran Hong Kong actor Lau Dan and has a younger sister, whose name has not been publicly disclosed.

Career

Hawick Lau began his career in the early 1990s as a model before signing with TVB in 1995, where he quickly transitioned into acting. After several minor roles, he achieved a breakthrough with A Kindred Spirit (1995), where he portrayed a father-son relationship alongside his real-life father, actor Lau Dan.

This performance earned him early acclaim and recognition as one of TVB’s “Five Fresh Tigers,” a title given to the network’s most promising young talents. Around the same time, he launched his music career, debuting with the Chinese album LALA I Love You in 1997 and the Cantonese album A Boy’s Story in 1998.

Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, Lau solidified his reputation with key roles in TVB dramas such as Virtues of Harmony (2001–2002), My Family (2005), A Step into the Past (2001), and At the Threshold of an Era (2000). These performances helped him become a household name in Hong Kong.

In 2005, he made the strategic decision to leave TVB and pursue broader opportunities across mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore, seeking roles that offered greater depth and variety.

Lau’s move into the mainland Chinese entertainment industry proved highly successful. He starred in a series of hit dramas including Sealed with a Kiss (2011), A Clear Midsummer Night (2013), The Wife’s Secret (2014), Lady & Liar (2015), and Chronicle of Life (2016), earning him a growing fan base across Greater China.

His ability to take on diverse roles—from romantic leads to historical figures—has earned him critical acclaim and numerous awards. Alongside his acting, Lau has continued to release music, with albums like My Way (2003) and The Best of Hawick Lau (2007), showcasing his dual talents and sustained popularity in both film and music.
