Who are the 3 Hong Kong actors in Nicole Kidmans Expats? Meet the local cast members of the Amazo
The series has generated plenty of buzz since it was first in production in 2021: Kidman and the crew were infamously exempted from quarantining at the height of Hong Kong’s travel restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The cast and crew were spotted throughout the city during filming, with fans catching glimpses of Kidman in Mong Kok and The Landmark in Central, as previously reported.

But local audiences have much more to be excited about than seeing familiar landmarks in the show – the trailer revealed that several Hong Kong faces were cast in the series.

1. Will Or

2. Bonde Sham
Bonde Sham got her start in the entertainment industry as a programme host at the Now TV station in 2014. She later signed on with ViuTV, has starred in drama series, and is a popular host of travel docuseries. Though mostly active in television, she had minor roles in Hong Kong films over the years too.
Though not much is known about the two actors’ roles, we get a glimpse of them together in the trailer. The series is set in 2014 and features scenes of the protests dubbed the Umbrella Movement that took place in that same year. In one frame, we see the two holding umbrellas among a sea of protesters, with Or handing Sham a handful of yellow ribbons.

3. Flora Chan
Actress Flora Chan, a TVB veteran, emerges from a half-decade hiatus to take on the role of a wealthy tai tai. Active throughout the 1990s and the early 2010s, Chan appeared in many TVB dramas that were popular not only in Hong Kong but also in mainland China and throughout Chinese-speaking communities in Asia, making her a household name to viewers during that era.
Her family immigrated to Boston from Hong Kong when she was five years old, and she did not return to her birthplace until nearly two decades later. Popular dramas she appeared in include the medical drama series Healing Hands I and II and the fifth season of the legal drama File of Justice.
The actress also tried her hand at singing, and produced three albums between the years 2000 and 2002.
