FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What did Matthew Ho do before TVB signed him?

He finished his schooling in California and took a bachelor’s degree in accounting at California State University, having started at Foothill College. Back in Hong Kong he modelled and spent about half a year as a DJ for the internet radio station 9DTV, then entered TVB’s twenty sixth artiste training class and signed in 2012.

Which of Matthew Ho's roles puts him in a BL and GL catalogue?

Our Golden Times, the 2024 web series in which he plays Ricky. The rest of his recorded filmography is mainstream TVB drama, from Law dis-Order in 2016 through A General, a Scholar and a Eunuch, Tiger Mom Blues, Life on the Line and Big White Duel, so most of his work sits outside what this site covers.

What shape does his award record suggest?

Four recorded wins, and three of them are newcomer or improvement prizes: Best New TVB Artiste in 2016, Most Improved TVB Male Artiste in 2017 and Most Improved Male Artiste at the TVB Anniversary Awards in 2018. The fourth, in 2017, was a shared onscreen partnership award with Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho.

Does Matthew Ho record music as well?

Two singles are on his record, both tied to dramas he appeared in. He sang the closing song for the 2022 series 食腦喪B and an insert song for the 2026 series 非常檢控觀, and both were issued as singles on his Apple Music and Spotify artist pages.

What performing training does he have outside the TVB classes?

Ballet, from childhood, and stage drama. He took part in school and university productions while he was studying in the United States, and he names stage work rather than screen work as where he built his performing experience.

How does he describe his own progress?

In small steps rather than a breakthrough. He has compared his career to a stock market moving up and down, and has pointed to a senior actor who reached leading man status in his eleventh year as the kind of path he admires.
