Baby Nancy

"Hello, I am Hong Kong TVB's Nancy, Siu Ting. I was born on September 9, 1981. In 1999, I joined "TVB8 International Chinese New Talent Singing Championship" and placed third runner-up (fourth place). In the same year, I entered "TVB's (magazine) Cover Girl Competition" and took home three titles, including first place. I was later enrolled in TVB's 18th Acting Class. My classmates included Lai Lok Yi, Oscar Chan Kwan, and Vin Choi.

My first major role was Coco Ling in TVB's 36th Anniversary series "Triumph in the Skies" in 2003. I was very fortunate to work with many experienced actors like Francis Ng, Flora Chan, and Joe Ma.

Other than "Triumph", my other most satisfied characters would have to be Wan Wan in "Twin of Brothers" and the recent Ha Fei Fei (fourth wife) in "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows". I really enjoy the feeling of filming ancient series because it showcases another side of me. In acting, many people tell me I am missing a chance to become a TVB leading female artiste. Actually, I think the title of 'Female Number One' is not that important as long as you fulfill your duties as an artiste and be yourself. I also believe that some things need to depend on luck, timing, place, and people in order for chances to be in hand's reach.

Recently, I have accomplished another satisfied feeling and that is taking part in the second season of "Strictly Come Dancing". Even though I have eight years of training in Chinese dance. Taking part in SCD was an eye-opener and a great challenge overall. Other than gaining knowledge about ballroom dances and Latin dances, I have gained a tremendous amount of friendship from the show. I really hope TVB will cast the ten of us in a series together. As for my Korean dance partner, Nathan Lee, I know that he was supposed to take part in the first season of SCD, but fate played a great part and had him take part a year later and had him partnered with me. Haha.... Even though we did not become 'Dance King' and 'Dance Queen', the perfect scores in our "The Chorus Line" Broadway routine and our Argentine Tango has made Team Success even more perfect. Thank you, Lee Sing Yuen, for all the support and care!

After dancing, I am now busy filming Poon Ka Tak's new series with Sammul Chan, Chin Ka Lok, and Louisa So. Thank you to producer Poon for always casting me in his series. I will do my best and will not let you down. I should go study my lines now. Bye bye!"

Representative Works: "Triumph in the Skies", "Twin of Brothers", "Face to Fate", "The Silver Chamber of Sorrows", and "Strictly Come Dancing II".

Personal Note: In the second pic, you can actually see Nancy's features. As for her acting, she is known for her evil role in TOB. She played it extremely well. I can't think of another TVB girl to be cast for that role. A fact that many might not know about Nancy is that she sang the demo version for TVB's "Love Guranteed" in Mandarin called "If the World Comes to an End". Also, in 2009, she, Kenneth, and Myolie will be getting their gold medals for serving in TVB for ten years...that is pretty exciting!
