53-year-old veteran comedian Mark Lee, appeared as a guest on the first episode of actor Christopher Lee’s new show Dishing With Chris Lee on 4 April, alongside actor Li Nanxing.
Christopher cooked some curry chicken noodles for the two guests as they reflected on their come-up in the industry, with Christopher Lee and Li Nanxing starting out as actors, while Mark Lee came up through variety shows.
Mark Lee then touched on how many industry newbies would rather act than do comedy, saying that “not many people want to do it.
The ugly ones don’t want to as they want to become better looking so that they can go into acting. But they don’t understand that if you’re not good-looking, that’s an asset in comedy.”
On the topic of leaving a legacy, Mark added that it also required the right timing, as well as the right people.
Christopher then added that what they can do is to “pass down the right spirit” to their successors.
